thanks for posting this video. my family and I have vacationed at topsail since I was a kid. It is like our second home. I have my own bodyboard and rent surf boards when I'm out there, so I love the big waves, although I can only do the really big stuff with my body board. Anyway, I hope it doesn't cause too much damage to you guys. We are praying for everyone out there. God bless.

@FrVladimir33 We were very lucky, by the way, not much damage, just minor shingles and siding lost mostly. A few flimsy storage buildingss collapsed and the BP Awning bit the dust. We appreciate all the visitors, whether you spend money or not. Alot of people just visit for the day. The Ocean is a place to come chill and heal. No money required for that. The Ocean is free... so is parking on Topsail Island.
