I don't think there's ever been a flood where I am and I happen to know the history of the historic building across the street p well and don't recall any floods for a hundred years plus but I also know I've never even heard of fifty inches of rain outside Harvey like scenarios

I live right under one of those huge stately oaks that always falls over and crushes houses in the Triangle so we'll see what we get here.

A category downgrade is reassuring for the exact reason that the categories are what they are, it means that fewer well-constructed structures on high ground are gonna get blowed away! edit: which is particularly important in Wilmington which is a bit above projected storm surge, not that there's much silver lining on 5 feet of rain or whatever

Also I think Triangle ppl are overrepresented on SA bc it's a CITY OF NERDS so they're all relieved it's going south even if it's going there to turbofuck a huge section of coastline instead of burn out quickly in Raleigh

I'm not sure about SC but there's very little Harvey Potential in eastern NC simply bc it's a desolate wasteland. I remember we had Floyd and it was horrible and everything was underwater but it wasn't some huge national catastrophe because there's nothing there but hogs and small-town racism as noted Wilmington has been around a very long time and as long as it doesn't straight up blow away, probably won't wash off the face of the earth
