“The damage from Hurricane Dorian is still there on Ocracoke. It’s improving, homes are being rebuilt, businesses reopening and slowly but surely, the village is recovering.

“The Island is getting better all the time,” Ocracoke resident and owner of Ocean Atlantic Rentals Greg Honeycutt said. “I hate to use the word normal, but we’ll come back stronger than ever.”

There’s a lot that goes into a recovery as significant as what is happening on Ocracoke. Housing continues to be an issue, although that is getting better, according to Honeycutt. But there are other issues that must be addressed.”
