Outer banks in November?

We'll be in the area and have never been to the Outer banks. Would we
be crazy to go this time of year? will anything be open? what kind of
weather might we expect? the temperature profile looks fine but
unclear about rain and wind.
Any special recommendations for a fall trip?
thank you

I think the banks were hit hard by Isabel. This might figure into your plans
also as to road damage.

The weather should be fairly dreary with wind always present. Large
portions of the outer banks are closed and will remain so for a while
give that the road on Hatteras is completely out. Some places will be
operating but check carefully on the current situation. I suspect that
a lot of properties will write off the fall & winter and spend the time
renovating for next year. FFM

I would think that *this* fall in particular would be a bad time to visit,
with Hurricane Isabel having passed by there a few weeks ago. If I
remember correctly, a new inlet has cut Hatteras Island into two pieces.
Things must still be pretty messy up there, in general.

Besides Isabel, there's also the 100th anniversary of the Wright
Brother's flight from Kitty Hawk in December. I think all the hotels
and houses are probably booked solid by now for December. It's a big
deal on the Outer Banks so check before you go.

Since apparently the highway-connected version of the Outer Banks is
nothing more than a manmade synthesis, I wouldn't try it at any time
after a force majeure of the Isabel type.

The northern Outer Banks, Duck, Corolla, Kill Devil Hills, Southern Shores,
Kitty Hawk, Nag's Head, Manteo, will be fine by November. They have the 100th
anniversary of flight going in December and want to be ready for it.

The southern Outerbanks (Hatteras, waves, Salvo, etc.) will be dicier
