Nope, the original Bert's at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina.

OK :) Just wondering. I am headed that way to help family pack if it looks like it is headed their way (will know by tomorrow if they want heip). Bert's in NMB is just up a little ways from Atlantic Beach. That's why I asked.

My suggestion right now for anybody within 50 miles of the coast from SC up to NJ is to go ahead and get motel reservations at least 100 miles or more inland. This hurricane could do unpresidented damage where ever it hits. When on the coast in a hurricane area, I always try to look and see how many buildings there are over a one hundred and fifty to two hundred years old. In most cases there aren't any although there can be some remains of them. You can guess what the reason is for that.

This is one to watch. It is also a good time for people inland to prepare to help out the ones who must evacuate. I live in Lincolnton, GA and plan to talk to the mayor and the local police on any plans we might do to help. I suggest people in other towns within 100 miles of the coast do the same thing.
