Ok. Hurricane Ophelia is about 150 miles south of where I live right now. It is raining fairly heavy, and the winds are gusting to about 30 miles per hour. Forecasters are saying that this thing is going to beat up on us for about two days before it gets out of here. There must be something about this damned county.
Look at a map of the US. Find the NC-SC border at the coast. Now, you will notice immediately north of the state line is a small concave coastline, followed by a second, slightly larger concave coastline. On that second coastline, you can see a river in the very middle of it. That is where Onslow County is. Since 1996, we have endured Hurricanes Bertha, Fran, Bonnie, David, Floyd, Isabel, and Charley.
Unlike the local and state authorities in New Orleans, we know what to do. I'll update after the hurricane passes.
