Hugo Redux?
Back in ’89, hurricane Hugo hit the Carolinas, and messed up a swath of coastline for some miles inland from Charleston, South Carolina all the way up into Brunswick County on into Charlotte, North Carolina. In the next three days, Isabel may do the same. Warnings to stock up on flashlights and batteries and bottled water are being issued along the Eastern Seaboard as far north as NYC and New England. Even Canada’s getting nervous, and no wonder, as the storm has hit category 5 a couple of times already, before easing off a little. It’s just as well I’m in Sydney, I suppose, since I didn’t much care for what little hurricane blow-by I got myself over the years.
