On bold banks near morehead city, north carolina, the civilian conservation corps is doing another job of repairing the ravages of time. At fort mikan, the sea and wind have been destroying one of the early masterpieces of fortification. On this site for 200 years, forts of one kind or another protrekted this Strategic Point from invasion from the sea. The present fort required 12 years to build. When completed, sometime after 1824, it was considered the last word in Coastal Defense and cost the then amazing sum of 463,700. An active commission during the war between the states, it was seized by the confederates in 1861 and recaptured by the union forces the following year. The walls are of brick and mortar, four feet thick, and theyre rock solid after more than 100 years. Arches, garrison rooms and ammunition magaz
Pinned in the vehicle and could not get out. The other teen, just because the doors wedged, he was trapped inside with the other guy, but both were talking and ok, not badly hurt, but did need to be taken to the hospital in two cases, one by hospital one by ambulance and the other by helicopter. They will be just fine, and whether or not there are any tickets issued after all of this , according to the florida Highway Patrol, is still in question. We have three teenage boys behaving badly, likely to get out of this lucky to get out of this, and an suv that needs a lot of work right now. Meredith more breaking news, this time in Volusia County.

Hours. Were expecting the roads to be on the slick side. Ill be back in a couple minutes to talk about that tranforecast. Thank you. Heres a look at some of the conditions that drivers had to contend with in an effort to make it to the thanks giving destination. David has been tracking the trip across Northern Virginia all day. He is live in hay market, virginia, with the accidents along the way. Test the roads we did to a lot of driving. We started out in arlington where this this cold rain coming down. We headed into western Fairfax County that crossover snow began and we made our way out to winchester where it was a much heavier snow. It was a tough commute on this thanksgiving eve. Route 7, the first of a few cars we found spun out. Farther down, another driver split off the road. That is where Steve Shannons crews come in. Theyve been treating the roads most of today. Heerd in loudon, i have between 120 and 130 pieces of equipment. Were getting hit harder out here than the rest of
Jeremy maclin. Washington gets the interception at their own 42. That set up a 26yard field goal for the victory with five seconds left. Eagles playoff chances are now clearly on life support. A if im score 27 to 24. Youre not going to win a Football Game that way. We left them on the field too many times on third down where we got penalties. Extends drives you felt like you got to stop. 13 penalties and two turnovers arent going to win Football Games. You battle back and tie the game but we didnt do enough things to win. Lesley van arsdale was at the game and she has reaction from disappointed fans and players. Eagles, eagles reporter fans who made the trip to washington were so optimistic and expectations very high. The eagles playing a soso Washington Team but again turnovers hurt them. And a nearly perfect codey parkey missed two field goals. Disappointed. Go birds. Looking forward to next season. Were not happy about it at all. Parkey, unfortunate for parkey and, you know, i know
We have winter starting at 66 03 p. M. We have 32 degrees, and thats the temperature in center city. This is also the temperature at the palmyra cove nature park in new jersey overlooking the delaware and looking at the lights in philadelphia. The one good thing about the last couple of days, the winds have been light. And thats certainly made it feel a lot more comfortable than could have. Storm scan3, looking at the wide view, philadelphia covered with some clouds, some little bit of couple of flurries as you go out toward the center of the state. But otherwise it, looks like weve got quiet day on tap for us today. Thirtyone out in allentown, 27 in reading, it is 32 out at the airport in philadelphia, and 26 in millville, 28 degrees in atlantic city. Weve been dealing with temperatures like that, and with the slight amount of wind that we have it, feels several degrees colder than the actual air temperature. Now, we do expect quiet weather as we go through the noon hour, about 39 deg
