1 high surf. Local standard time, as filed.
Heavy surf from the swells of Hurricane Jeanne cause two men to be thrown overboard off the coast of Oak Island. One man was rescued, the other drowned.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
