Shaun(FL) lives somewhere around there. I don't know if she still uses this site, haven't seen her post here in a long time. --72.188.xxx.xxx

When you hear largest in ten years, worst in ten years or anything in ten years, know that this has to do with solar minimum and less solar heating energy coming in. Plan for it. You can work the stock market with this. Invest in energy stocks since it gets colder. --73.178.xxx.xx

Looks like Topsail Island will miss Michael. Don't wish any harm on anyone else. --97.89.xxx.xxx

This thing blew up fast! I think a lot of people never got out. Hope everyone is ok. When I lived in FL I had a good friend in Destin. --47.216.xx.xxx

It will be "just" a tropical storm when it hits us, Brad. So we are okay. Probably lose some shingles, maybe some flooding but nothing like Florida! --50.82.xxx.xx

How many times can one rebuilds? How many times can the U.S govt shell out 100 Billion dollars per event? --99.59.x.xxx

Actually there haven't been that many...Florida went 11 years without getting hit until Matthew in 2016. So I think statistics are just catching up with us now. --72.188.xxx.xxx

Here in southern Connecticut its a little after 2 o'clock in the afternoon,it has been pouring rain all day ,at least that's what they tell me..The weather forecasters don't say too much about Michael,but the rain is a forerunner of the storm,always is,tomorrow,Friday,will probably be much heavier.we won't get the severe winds you people will get,we got enough with all the previous storms,the people in Connecticut are still waiting for cleanup funds from the government,,but Fred ,that won't happen for a long time,if ever?They would rather send the money overseas,to their buddies in Iraq or some other God forsaken country,rather than take care of their own.......charlie.................................................think some people call it kickback......................in the sticks ,we call it lining their own pockets...................................what would you call it?................... --32.214.xxx.xx

What does southern Connecticut's weather have to do with this storm? --72.188.xxx.xxx

J,not to much,except we are getting rain that we wouldn't normally get ,if not for your tribulations..........charlie................................................ --32.214.xxx.xx

I hope it wheezes out for where ever it ends up going, the ground can only hold so much water and this is what loosens the tree roots, so trim off the top 1/3 or 1/4 of your trees - keep the shade without the large lever action in the wind. --76.188.xxx.xx

I hope people were able to get out of the beach areas. --47.216.xx.xxx

A lot of homes in that part of the state are frame instead of concrete block construction, so that probably didn't help matters. --72.188.xxx.xxx

One of my newest tenants (one who lost their car!) texted me, "Oh well life on a sandbar!" --50.82.xxx.xx
