Note: Wilmington area is not built in a bowl surrounded by canals. For one most of us are not ignorant enough to stay here if a cat 5 is coming... secondly if we lost our house we have insurance to rebuild and until it was rebuilt we have enough money to rent a trailer and park it on our acreage. My family can pitch a tent and join us. For that matter we could fit 100 on it. Man, what did people do before electricity? People that rent homes or apartments better have some money saved up and they wouldn't have to worry about where they will sleep. People live beyond their means with no thought to disaster or retirement. Paycheck to paycheck to pay for that cell phone, cable/internet, fancy car with spinners and stereos.
