I am a mountain boy so please pardon if this is a stupid question but do the beaches of Brusnwick County's E to W orientation dampen, enhance or have no impact on the effects of storms like this?
You obviously don't understand how vulnerable Eastern NC is with these storms. Matthew hit as a Cat 1 and killed 26 people in NC and $1.5 billion in damages.
If even half of the total rain projections verify, this could end up catastrophic for SE NC and SC.
That was my biggest fear. That mirrors the totals from Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Ivan over that one week period back in September of '04. It got ugly around here.
I honestly wouldn't mind a warm up. We've been dealing with snow, ice and cold in the MTNS since late October. Give me a warm Feb to get the boat and camper in order before Spring fishing.
We have guys here that haven't seen in a measurable snowfall in years. In Asheville we got 14" just last month. We got nearly a foot last year and a foot and a half the year before that. Our winters are have been doing pretty good as of recently in terms of getting a good snowstorm or two. Count your blessings.
Very unwise, especially considering it's already been snowing in those areas. It's already getting slick and you haven't even decided if you're leaving yet.
