I live in Jacksonville NC, 12 miles from the coast. We looked at the size and type of hurricane and we went back to conducting regular business. When the hurricane passed by at its closest, two of my pets (dog and cat) were asleep and the third (a cat) was still outside.

We are kind of used to hurricanes. I think it is good to get hit by a small one every couple of years to take out the weak trees and the like, so when a big one hits, there is less serious damage.

Not too bad, the flooding will drain off fairly quickly. Worst looking one was Highway 64 in Manteo, surprisingly. The sound was up, very choppy and over the road in places.

I was there for 1.5 and had to leave for family reasons a month ago. Heading back ASAP!!!
