  • Mr Hooper held the word record for Red Drum for many years. He should not be so modest. 

  • Hello everyone,

    Thank you for all of the wonderful responses and feedback from the interview I did with my father. I will make sure to show him all of the feed back here and the other social media channels that OBR posted to.

    Thanks

    Kristina

  • Elvin Hooper KNOWS what he's talking about! He should be consulted for all approaching Hurricanes and/or any other strange phenomenal weather on the Outer Banks from NOW ON!

  • Hello -- Yes, Mr. Hooper, turns out your prediction of a new inlet and possible pavement disruption was correct -- I bet it will be awhile til that inlet is filled with sand again. I saw it on TV from a helicopter on CNN. I also say, please post a follow-up video, will be interested to hear if that inlet broke through where you predicted, and how you all fared.

  • RESPECT to this man. he talks like a legend.

  • Thanks so much for posting this video. Mr. Hooper....you rock!! Stay safe, y'all. Prayers sent your way and hoping you and your daughter will send a post-Irene update as soon as you're able.  God Bless!!

  • God Bless you Mr. Hooper. I look forward to your follow-up in a few days!

  • Great video....very informative. Have a beach box house in Avon -- last 22 years. Watching from NJ. My heart and soul is in Avon though. Keep safe everyone on Hatteras.

  • Kristina and Elvin .... nothing on the Weather Channel, CNN or anywhere else was more intelligent, insightful and interesting than your interview. I am staying here

    mainly because Elvin told me 11 years ago that my house would never flood and was solidly built. If TWC sees this, Elvin will replace Jim Cantore in a NY minute ! Congrats on a great video.... Braxton

  • Excellent summary, just like the days in shop class. Man, I really miss those days with Mr. Hooper working on the project houses. Stay safe Hoop. Stacy S.
