our apartment complex just sent an email reminder that tenants are "covered" by renter's legal liability coverage, which they specifically say does not cover anything related to the storm.

in the same e-mail they remind us to get flameless candles because burning candles is prohibited by our lease.

oh u mean those electric candles? that should do the trick :bravo:

If you're looking for storm discussion, preparation, etc... I recommend storm2k.org. They have a discord as well.

Assuming your insurance is paid up, document as much of your stuff you are leaving behind as possible. Working out the value can be done later, just make sure you have a record of what you had before it all gets washed away and your insurance accuses you of fraud filing afterwards.

quote:

Its a good thing that landfalls by such strong hurricanes are rare along the South Carolina and North Carolina coast, since this coastline is extremely vulnerable to high storm surges. Two of these three historical Carolina Category 4 hurricanes generated a storm tide of 18 - 20 feet: Hugo of 1989 and Hazel of 1954.

The high vulnerability of this coastline is because the continental shelf extends out more than 50 miles from shore, creating a large region of shallow water less than 150 feet deep just offshore that forces storm surge waters to pile up to staggering heights.

Depending on where its center makes landfall, a mid-strength Category 4 hurricane with 145 mph winds hitting at high tide, in a worst-case scenario, can generate a storm tide in excess of twenty feet above ground level along the entire coast of South Carolina, and along most of the coast of southern North Carolina from the South Carolina border to Morehead City. Many locations could see a higher surge, of up to 27 feet.

The latest forecasts have it sitting on eastern North Carolina for four days straight. It might even drift slightly south, absolutely soaking the coastal plains. It's going to be our Sandy.
