Abstract:

A hurricane is a force to respect and pay attention to for residents of Ocracoke Island, which lies far from the mainland and barely above sea level. Yocum, an Ocracoke Island resident, describes the islanders' reactions to the formation of a storm, preparations for it, and the eventual arrival of the hurricane.
