When Hugo came through here, my brother had a house at Carolina Beach (southern corner of NC, jsut south of Wilmington) and a small cabin in the NC mountains.

The beach house was virtually untouched ..... the cabin near Boone had a lot of damage. Go figure!

We live in the Charlotte area now. When we were house-hunting about 8 years ago, real estate agents would tell us that a house had a "Hugo roof" ... meaning that it was relatively new. Some people up here were without power for 5 weeks!

Yeah! September, 1993!! HUGO!! What a storm!! Knocked the daylights out of a swathe of S.C and N.C. Then, it sailed right on up to the Appalachian mountains!!

My sister had a house in Winston-Salem back then.... A MASSIVE one hundred year old oak tree fell, in the 90 mile per hour winds and took the deck and side of her house right off.

What a mess!!
