<p>NEWS AP. BACK TO YOU. &gt;&gt; THANK YOU. &gt;&gt; HURRICANE TEDDY WILL NOT MAKE A DIRECT HIT BUT WILL PASS THE OUTER BANKS AND GIVE HUGE WAYS. IT IS WHIPPING UP DANGEROUS SURF. THIS IS HIGHWAY 12 SOUTH OF OREGON. THAT ROADS CLOSE. WE SPOKE WITH RESIDENTS ON HATTERAS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF TEDDY. &gt;&gt; IT IS COMING UP ON HIGH TIDE FOR MONDAY MORNING. &gt;&gt; THAT IS JAN DAWSON, OWNER OF THE CAPE HATTERAS HOTEL. SHE IS SHOWING US HIGH TIDE, JUST BEFORE NOON TODAY. LIKE A LAVA FLOW THE SEAWATER AND SAND OVERTAKE HER PARKING LOT BURYING HIGHWAY 12. &gt;&gt; THERE IS FLOODING EVERYWHERE. &gt;&gt; SHE THEN SHOWS US THE BEACH. THERE IS NO BEACH. THE DUNES ARE GONE. JUST A LOT OF FROST, POUNDING ON THE MOTEL PILINGS. MOST GUESTS LEFT FRIDAY. &gt;&gt; IT IS UNBELIEVABLE LOOKING AT THE OCEAN. IT IS HARD FROM THE VIDEO TO GET A SENSE OF SCALE OF THE WAVES. THEY ARE AS BIG AS I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR MANY HURRICANE. &gt;&gt; CHECK THIS OUT. THE DIAMOND SHOALS WE RECORDED A WAVE NEARLY 18 FEET HIGH MONDAY MORNING. I ALSO CALLED UP DONNIE BOWERS, PHOTOGRAPHER WHO SHOT THESE IMAGES OF VEHICLES STUCK ON HIGHWAY 12. &gt;&gt; THERE ARE TONS OF CARS THAT HAVE BEEN TOTALED. THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT TRIED TO LEAVE. THEY GOT STUCK AND THEN PEOPLE LEFT THEM UNDER THEIR HOUSES. THEY ARE ON THE OCEANFRONT. &gt;&gt; HIGHWAY 12 IS NOW CLOSED. &gt;&gt; SINCE WE DIDN'T HAVE AN EVACUATION WE HAVE A FULL ISLAND. PEOPLE ARE JUST DRIVING AROUND THROUGH SALTWATER AND IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. &gt;&gt; THE FLOODING IS A PERENNIAL PROBLEM. THE D.O.T. IS AGAIN WORKING TO CLEAR IT. A 2012 INVESTIGATION SHOWS TAXPAYERS SPENT MORE THAN $30 MILLION OVER THE PREVIOUS TWO DECADES REPAIRING THE HIGHWAY. FOR LOCALS AND TOURISTS, IT IS A LIFELINE. &gt;&gt; IT HAS BEEN A MESS TO BE HONEST. IT IS NERVE-RACKING AND FRUSTRATING BUT IT IS ALSO PART OF LIVING HERE. &gt;&gt; EACH YEAR THEY ROLL WITH IT. THEIR BEGGING NOT TO GET STUCK. &gt;&gt; A PORTION OF HIGHWAY 12 WAS CLOSED. IT WILL REMAIN CLOSED</p>
