PHOTOS: Sound Floods Over Bulkhead in Kill Devil Hills
Submitted photos show flooding in Outer Banks after Hurricane Irene.
Editor's Note: Click through the gallery for a chronological account of the flooding. The water is still rising. I will post more photos as I get them.
Kill Devil Hills (Outer Banks, N.C.) residents were surprised when Albemarle Sound waters invaded their homes after Hurricane Irene moved up the Virginia coast Saturday evening.
Photos show the Sound blowing down out of canals that threaded through Colington Harbor Saturday afternoon. But as soon as Hurricane Irene moved out of the Outer Banks, the waters came rushing back, flooding over the bulkhead and into backyards and homes.

Oakton High School graduate and former Fairfax County Fire Department employee Elizabeth Beckner Rhodes sent us these photos as the water seeped up her backyard and into her home on Eagle Drive.
Editor's disclosure: Rhodes is Fairfax City Patch Editor Whitney Rhodes' stepmom. The man pictured in the photos is retired Fairfax County firefighter Ken Rhodes (Whitney's dad).
