flattened maps are so deceiving. Have family in Jacksonville, was more worried than they were. Tie down the Ospreys! Waiting for it to hit here. just north of philly. Wish I was in NC.

Fans of seashells will be descending as soon as they can get on the islands. Nothing like a storm to churn some nice ones up and toss them on the beach.

I live in Jacksonville NC, 12 miles from the coast. We looked at the size and type of hurricane and we went back to conducting regular business. When the hurricane passed by at its closest, two of my pets (dog and cat) were asleep and the third (a cat) was still outside.

We are kind of used to hurricanes. I think it is good to get hit by a small one every couple of years to take out the weak trees and the like, so when a big one hits, there is less serious damage.
