I'm not too far from Wilmington and I'm right on the water. While I would be happy to lose several large trees, I'd like to keep some of the house. If the tide swells over 12 feet I'd have a flooding problem - but I don't think it ever has. I'd bet the probability is low that it will hit NC. We generally seem to luck out. It could put a big dent in Florida though or just burn out at sea.
