July 20 -- A five year old was attacked by a shark at Ocracroke Island yesterday. We all just watched the video of the helicopter taking her to the mainland and realized that as we sat at the beach just a few miles away from Ocracroke Island, the helicopter passed right over us. We all saw it. Yipes.
Now everyone is afraid about going into the water. Well, not really but still...it is kind of spooky. I guess she was close to the shore and it came up close and grabbed her leg which was hanging off of the edge of the boogie board she was riding. It's amazing because the water is so clear, so gorgeous, one can't even imagine a shark making it's way to the shore without someone seeing it.
I am sure we are all going to be on extra alert now. ( thank God the girl is going to be okay. )
