I am sure it is, I read that alot of folks were staying on thier little island homes. That is crazy, lucky Charlie was a tight huricane with mostly in a small tight eye wall, (never saw one like it before) had it been a more normal cat 4 like Carla, everyone on those islands would have been drowned.
My problem is how at times people can be so foolish, building on a little barrier island, staying in a mobil home with a huricane comming, not seeking higher gound from a low lying coastal plain. I just don't get it. My house is 12 feet above sea level, I'll stay for a cat 1 or cat 2, cat 3 I'll think about cat 4 and I am outta here.

I'm a bit more leery of them since seeing the damage from Hugo. The bad thing about that one was, most of the damage seemed to have been from tornados, not the hurricane itself.
