Or the price of living 200-300 miles inland from any coast U.S.A I spose as Michael made Ga. as a cat 2. Glad you're safe Lyle.
I about had a tree fall on me, but yeah didn't cut off any fingers or toes working with the chainsaw so that's good.


Crazy thing here in NC is the folks who have beachfront property whine about the insurance they have to pay and they want the landlocked portion of the state to flip the bill for their extravagant lot locations and sometimes the big baller ass houses they have.....so yeah I feel for the folks who lose their belongings and stuff, but not enough to want to fucking pay for it because I'm not brazen enough to build a home on the Outer Banks which (for those of you who don't know) are basically "Sand dune islands" which take the brunt of the blow for the hurricanes which make landfall in NC....which isn't so much applicable for Michael but it is for Florence. Even inland the storm surge can be extremely bad as PCB and Mexico Beach found out.
