NCCAT @ Ocracoke Day 3: Ocracoke Lighthouse

 Ocracoke Lighthouse on a beautiful island morning. This lighthouse was built in 1823. How many years ago was it built?

 The spiral staircase inside the lighthouse. The round brick wall is 5 feet thick. Can you estimate how many bricks were used?
After our seafood dinner, a storm started brewing in the Pamlico Sound.  Do you think that the weather here is the same as in Hendersonville?  Take a look at this weather map and decide for yourself.  (HINT:  You are near "AVL."  I am near "HSE.").
