I have a house in Wilmington NC that is about 15 minutes from Carolina Beach. The last of us got out of town yesterday along with the pets. I am not too worried about flooding, but having sat though even a weakening Fran, I don’t feel the need to roll the dice with a much powerful storm. Unfortunately, I know a number of people that are planning to sit it out. If you have any stories or links you would like to share that might encourage them to get out of town, please feel free to share. A couple of them a wavering and may be we can get them over the edge.
My fellow Tar Heels (or Pirates or Wolfpack fans or Seahawks or whatever) if there is a good chance you are going to end up in the bull’s eye of Florence, please roll with “discretion is the better part of valor” to the extent you are able. (And no, if you stay and could have left; and end up with some hair raising story, I don’t want to hear it).
