 The high waters washed out a 2,000 feet (600 m) portion of Hatteras Island between Hatteras and Frisco, creating a new inlet unofficially dubbed "Isabel Inlet".The break was 15 feet (5 m) deep in areas, consisting of three distinct channels.The new inlet washed away all utility connections to Hatteras Village, including power lines and water pipes, as well as dunes, three houses, and a portion of North Carolina Highway 12.
