It’s No Day at the Beach in Outer Banks, NC - Dense Smoke Advisory

Video still picture has not yet loaded on YouTube - should work later today. Click on video image, or link.
As I wrote yesterday about arriving in the Outer Banks area, there are wildfires in the Refuge and the smoke is quite dense as you cross the Albemarle Sound bridge on I-64.
YouTube video from yesterday, June 14th, Saturday, 2008:
Here are sources you can turn to when you’re trying to find out more on where the wildfires are so you can still enjoy your vacation:
NBC’s WITN Coverage on the fire in Eastern Carolina - excerpt from article:
A Code Purple air quality alert remains in effect for parts of northeastern North Carolina today as winds from the wildfire push north. Those living east of I-95 and north of U.S. Highway 64, are under a Code Purple Alert Saturday. That includes Edenton, Elizabeth City, Kill Devil Hills, Manteo, Plymouth, Rocky Mount and Tarboro. People in that area should avoid strenuous or prolonged outdoor activity. The state says those with breathing problems should stay inside. Code Purple is the highest air pollution alert North Carolina has ever enacted. Code Purple conditions are likely Sunday in the areas north of the Pamlico River and east of the Chowan River, including Edenton, Elizabeth City, Kill Devil Hills, Manteo, Nags Head, Plymouth and Washington.
I think I’ll be doing my site-seeing in the southern section of Outer Banks? At $4.25 a gallon on the island, you might want to make sure you fill up right before you enter the area, although the smoke is quite dense as you approach Outer Banks on I-64. As long as the gas station is open, and it’s safe to pump, I’d go ahead and fill up.
