Shackleford Banks, NC

They say the “Banker Ponies” don't have to worry when there' s a hurricane tidal surge. They've been though hurricanes many times before since they were first turned loose on the island in 17th-century, if not before. But they've never experienced the kind of sea level rise that's likely coming. Shackleford Banks isn't many about feet above sea level.
