ATLANTIC BEACH, N.C. (AP) — Not much damage is apparent on North Carolina barrier islands south of the Outer Banks as Hurricane Earl moved by.

The evacuation order for the Bogue (Bohg) Bank area of Carteret County has been lifted.

The bridge between Morehead City and Atlantic Beach reopened early Friday. There was no sign of flooding on the island.

The storm did damage the pier behind the Atlantic Beach Sheraton Hotel. Heavy surf knocked away some supports under the pier, though it is still standing. The pier is blocked off with tape.
