Don’t see any chance of them not getting hammered

My brother is just up the coast from Wilmington in the Hampstead/Topsail area. He happens to be gone for some training, but his house is probably in trouble. Wife and kids were already coming to STL for Taylor Swift and moved the flight up.

The dummy is using the 100 year flood zones, I’m sure ... which we know are bogus anyway.

I mean, it's one thing to stay yourself. It's an entirely different level of stupidity to keep two children there.

As someone who has evacuated during hurricanes, I can tell you it is very expensive and maybe people who stay can't afford gas, hotel, food for multiple days and hundreds of miles.
