We haven't been down in a couple years, and are overdue. Mike McG told me yesterday that they had been planning a trip, but are going to Gatlinburg instead. From NPS Incidents:
CAPE HATTERAS NATIONAL SEASHORE
Girl Injured In Apparent Shark Attack
Ranger Shane Bryan was dispatched by the Hyde County Sheriff’s Office to an area near off-road vehicle Ramp 72 on Tuesday afternoon to investigate a report of a person injured by a shark. He found Ocracoke paramedics treating a six-year-old girl for injuries to her lower right leg and foot. The girl’s father told Bryan that an unidentified witness had told him he’d seen a four- to five-foot shark knock his daughter out of the water with her leg in the shark’s mouth. He also said that his daughter was near the shore with a boogie board in about 18 inches of water when the incident occurred. She was stabilized and flown by medical helicopter to Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville for further treatment. The father, who is a medical doctor, told Bryan that he believed his daughter would be fine based on his view of the injuries.
