I live in Wilmington NC about 20 miles from Wrightsville Beach and 30 from Carolina Beach. While the weather here is nice most all year round the huricanes are terrible. Once during H.Fran, we lived in a trailer then, so many pine trees fell that they blocked every door and window to our home. We couldn't get out for 2 days till someone came with a chainsaw to get us out. Then there was H. Floyd. We nickname him Flooding Floyd cuz of all the water he left behind. But, a big but, I wouldn't move from here if you gave me a trillion dollars. I love the coast.
