When high tide hit Sunday night, the already-high water levels in the OBX reached shocking heights. 

As a result, the highway has been further flooded with sand and saltwater, and upcoming high tides threaten to worsen the situation. 

Residents and visitors likely won't be able to use the whole roadway again until Tuesday, September 22 after cleanup.
