Sare, do you have someone down there boarding up your house?

I don't have a house down there peaches... used to live there, not anymore...
Have a condo in Fort Myers Fl....
Yeppirs the Nags Heads houses have been problems for years. I have an old National Geographic (has to be 20 years old now) showing the houses in the water.....
Down on Hatteras, they aren't allowed to build houses beyond the dune lines... protects them a little bit....
If I were to get a house down there, it would be in Buxton (widest point of Hatteras Island) and it would NOT be on the beach.....
While I would love to own a beach house, I would hate to have to pay the insurance premiums and rebuild it every 10 years or so.....
I have been talking to friends on the island..... some natives, some not....
I offered up a place to stay...but I got the answer I knew I would.... "I aint letting no storm chase me out of here"....
They have survived many before, I hope they survive this one because I think Hatteras is gonna get it dead on and then the storm is gonna flow right up the northern current streams and miss most of the rest of the coast until Long Island (reminds me I have to call my brother, he is still in Levittown, where we grew up)....
