I just talked to my brother-in-law, who lives in Wilmington, NC. He reports that it is windy and raining. Their power was out briefly this morning, but it’s currently on. Unfortunately, we don’t have the technology for him to take a video camera out to the beach and file a live report. You’ll have to check TV news for that.
I saw an interesting report on CNN a couple weeks ago on how a hurricane took out much of the housing on North Carolina barrier islands about 10 years ago. As you can see, it’s all been replaced, funded, in part, at taxpayer expense.
Sooner or later, these houses will again be knocked out by another hurricane. But until then, some people will have nice vacation houses.
