These comments on here make me embarrassed to say that I live in this town. I just pray that one day we are hit with a mega storm that wipes out most if not all of the infrastructure that we know and brings us to our knees to the point that this city can not operate under normal conditions.
Yes NC and the coastal counties are far more prepared than our northern states, but if we were left without the critical infrastructure that most of you take for granted on a daily basis.......believe me, that your city council would be more than happy to take any donations that other cities and towns were willing to give in order to get this town up and running again.
When faced with utter devastation, it has nothing to do with tax dollars or what the city did last month,its about helping your neighbor out and helping them get back on their feet, because you never know when mother nature is going to knock you on your ass and you will need the same hand.
Wake up people and stop being so freaking ignorant.
Help thy neighbor.
