I love it over the earlier ones showing it heading due west, straight inland...

Most precious oldest daughter is in Gastonia now, so yes, let's avoid NC!!!

We are watching with trepidation here in Charleston...looking like just a lot of thunderstorms and rain here...but you never know. Tornadoes do spawn off these storms. I'm on a marsh which can hold a ton of water...the ocean is about 20 miles away.

Nothing special yet with the surf here. Little bit of rain bands sifting through. Not much of a breeze yet either. Guess it picks up more tomorrow.....

Unbelievable image. Imelda and Humberto several hundred miles apart.

Mother Nature....she always has the last word! And this is why people hate insurance companies so much.....

My best friend, now unfortunately deceased, got out of Buxton just in time. He'd already raised their house around 15' and they lived on the back, bay side. He practically had to pry his wife out of there with a crowbar. Her ancestors settled that part of the island and her grandfather's name was on one of the old foundation stones at the original lighthouse location...

I would be surprised if these homes were even covered for this type event. Most property policies have a subsidence exclusion in them. Its a caveat in insurance.

When my friend lived there, around ten years ago now, standard insurance wasn't available. They had "risk pool" coverage, something like that, which, I think, was state-sponsored. Even back then, it was several thousand dollars annually...
