Five people — including three children — were rescued from dark and stormy North Carolina waters late Friday night just hours before Tropical Storm Ophelia made landfall there.
Two adults and three children — ages 4, 7 and 10 — were aboard a 38-foot sailboat in Cape Lookout’s Lookout Bight when the owner of the vessel decided he “did not feel comfortable” in the narrow channel due to the dangerous conditions and called the U.S. Coast Guard Sector North Carolina from a cell phone for help, according to a press release.
