Perhaps then, if the community is destroyed the landowners will rebuild more responsibly or better yet not at all! Am I crazy for thinking this way or am I not alone?
Right there with you. We should also definitely stop rebuilding cities below sea level. I'm looking at you, New Orleans.

Care to elaborate on the rationale behind your predictions? Or was it...just a hunch...
Well... a hunch. I'm not going to claim it was scientific because I'm not well-versed enough to back it up. I'm unemployed right now so my thing is... staying up all night and staring at maps. Radar, wind, pressure, ocean temp, etc. Saw it as an invest with the winds going the way they were, used the WindMap app to track it forward 5 days, and decided I didn't believe it was going to take a northward turn. Looked like it was on a fairly straight course. I know things are unpredictable two weeks in advance, just had a hunch.

I don't think my personal anecdotes belong in the main thread, so here you go. I've been watching Flo for about a week now, since I saw "tropical wave forming." No one believed me when I predicted it would hit the US. News sites even a few days ago were all don't worry, unprecedented, blah blah blah...
I predicted SC landfall, turning north inland to soak NC and VA. I said it would be strong and slow and I said pinhole eye. Could be wrong, hope I'm wrong. I just moved to a heavily wooded area in VA and we've had 3" of rain already this weekend. Walmart was packed today and they were down to just a few cases of water. Cashier said after Irene some of my neighbors were without power for 9 days.
If I lived in SC, I would already have a hotel room booked somewhere far away.

Who knows how accurate it is, but my weather app has the storm going almost directly through Leland as a Cat 2. STRAP DOWN THE KEGS!!
Oh... and maybe think a little harder about fleeing. I would flee.
