Some happy house news for Buxton today, Wednesday, November 12 - the Williams’ family house that was in the ocean, in danger of collapse, is being moved today! 🙌🏽

From Mr. Williams: Notice to anyone in Buxton south of Cottage Avenue in the neighborhoods off of Old Lighthouse Road that between 8:45 and 11:45 tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov 12) the road will at times be blocked to traffic by a house being moved to Diamond Shoals Drive. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Once the house has cleared Cape Point Way, traffic can detour around by using Cape Point Way and Diamond Shoals Drive, until the house turns onto Diamond Shoals Drive.

It looks like the Carova Beach area dodged most of the damage from this last nor'easter. Unfortunately. Buxton Hatteras in Ocracoke did take the brunt of the storm along the outer Banks

On Thursday, September 11 at approximately 6:30pm a call was made to 911 to report a horse that was struck by a vehicle in the 2000 block of Sandpiper Rd. Witnesses reported that the horse was hit and fell down, but was able to stand back up on her own and rejoin her group. Fortunately the mare did not sustain any serious injuries and has been moving and behaving normally since the incident.

Statement from the Currituck County Sheriff’s Department:

“Driver was traveling south on Sandfiddler when a horse ran out from his right. Driver hit the horse, watched it get up, and then drove away. Driver was charged with county ordinance sec 3-34. Male driver pleaded guilty to charges, he paid the fine and court costs and was released back to his family.”

Sec. 3-34 of the Currituck County Wild Horse Ordinance states: Notice of injury to authorities. It shall be unlawful for any person injuring a wild horse to fail to notify immediately the animal control officer or sheriff's department.

You can read the ordinance in its entirety here:https://www.corollawildhorses.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/wild-horse-ordinance.pdf

CWHF would like to thank the many witnesses who reached out with information about the incident so that we could identify the mare that was hit and monitor her for any signs of injury. We are extremely relieved that this incident did not result in serious injury or death, but would like to remind all drivers on the 4x4 to always use caution and drive slowly. This mare was the fourth horse to be struck in 2025.

If you witness a horse in danger or distress, please call 252-453-3633 (or 911) immediately.

The photo included in this post is of the mare who was struck, and was taken on Sunday, September 14. Media outlets have permission to share, with credit to CWHF.

Sometimes it's the unnamed storms that no one hears anything about that cause the most damage to our area. Bill and I have been here this week as a coastal low storm (which had all the strength of a tropical storm, just not named as such because it didn't develop in the tropics )developed and sat over us all day Monday and Tuesday. Wind gusts of 60 mph. For the first time ever we watched siding being torn off our house. It was a blessing to be here and be able to get it all and Bill has repaired it.
