Water from Hurricane Arthur buckled a section of North Carolina Highway 12 on Hatteras Island, seen July 4 in a photo provided by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. It is the same spot on Hatteras Island that was breached in Hurricane Irene in 2011. Proving far less damaging than feared, Hurricane Arthur left tens of thousands of people without power Friday in a swipe at North Carolina's exposed Outer Banks.
