If I still lived in Florida, I'd be getting excited.
If I lived in Hatteras, I'd be getting nervous.

I worked in hatteras last year when a hurricane blew by us, it didn't come that close but it still washed out the only road off the island and it took 2 weeks before they had one lane back open. Hopefully this one won't be to bad

sad part is that flood insurance is federally subsidized
so they will keep building them as long as we keep paying them
