That remains the best looking Atlantic hurricane north of 30°. But I agree, Florence is also excellent. I was thinking about Hugo when I made that post...only one comparable.

The media hyped this to the max. Yea New Bern got hit hard, but they straddle 2 rivers and a sound. I have yet to see miles of beach houses in the ocean. It's a typical low end Carolina cane with more inland flooding. For the people who died..... if they would have trimmed the tree they would be alive. That's my 2 cents and I'll leave it at that. I just think all the mass panic was a joke. I'm not saying that things weren't blown out of proportion to an extent, but isn't Browns Summit, NC over 200 miles from the coast?

It was a joke and will always be a joke. This wasnt a mass extinction event so yea I work in emergency management and I agree that things got a little out of hand, but considering a number of rain bands haven't budged for many, many hours I'm going to reserve judgement on severity. Credible sources are saying over 20" have fallen in some places along the shore - that's not a joke in my book. Certainly not the state-wide impact that was feared, but quite possibly devastating for a lot of folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Will be curious to see what the ultimate price tag is. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being more costly to NC than Fran, even with adjusting for inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
