Fran (1996) was an awful time for those of us living inland. That hellish night and aftermath was 22 years ago. Plenty of time for more brittle trees to reach dangerous heights. Hopefully, folks are keeping their tall trees further away from buildings. The inland trees are not wind hardy like trees near the coast which grow up with constant breezes.
I bet there are going to be lots of trees cut down between now and Friday in central NC.....at least I hope so.
Of course there are a lot of newbies in our area who were not here for Fran and who do not have any idea how horrible a Coastal landing hurricane can be for us inlanders.
There will be a run on water and bread and batteries I am sure...but don’t know if people will bug out or not.
Euro had no stall and moved it into Michigan Likely will get ignored for now
