Highway 12 on Hatteras Island, N.C., is quiet on the morning of Thursday, Aug. 3, 2017, as tourists have been evacuated from Hatteras and neighboring Ocracoke Island in North Carolina. The outage caused by a construction accident forced an estimated 50,000 visitors to leave Hatteras and Ocracoke islands, and others never made it to the popular vacation spots because of evacuation orders that are still in place.
