Been an interesting year.

[Southern by choice]

I'm a Hugo, Fran, and Floyd veteran.

This is one of the most memorable images from Floyd

Very hard to see that picture. I remember living up North seeing all these pics and the storms over the decades, still makes me so sad. It is always the same... instant flashback.

@OneFineAcre isn't your FIL on the coast?

No I have a cousin in Morehead City and another between Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills.

My FIL is 20 miles east of Wilson.

Those hogs were lucky, they let them out of the house. The industry said I think 25,000 drowned. People outside of the industry think it may have been more like 100,000
Dead hogs everywhere.

Greybeard, it has to get better from here. You've been hit from all directions, it just has to get better now.

Best wishes to you and your twin GB. My dad had quad bypass surgery (after a believe 2 heart attacks) and it added years to his life. He eventually passed from cancer, which I believe has become one of the predominant reasons old folks die.

Been through a couple of named storms myself but never really made a point of remembering their names. I've always enjoyed, and still do, watching mother nature in all her fury, but have never enjoyed the heartache that folks suffer because of it. Watched the eye of one pass over me in VA Beach after it destroyed NC. Then spent 2 days (driving west to the Appalachian mountains) trying to skirt the damaged area to get back home to Jacksonville, FL. I believe it may have been the one with the floating pigs pictured above.
