You know what, it was. Hmm. I don't know, I live right on the water too, but we're built for these kinds of storms. My brother rode out a category three down here years ago and he lived in a shambly old house that had no worse damage than a couple of lost shingles. I guess I'll play it by ear....we're a day away from accurate predictions. If they recommend an evacuation, I'll go visit some family in charlotte. Otherwise I'm just gonna go over to a friends house with lots of food and alcoholic beverages and do the hurricane party thing.
