Slightly different position...

My grandmother... my Babushka... lived at the mouth of the Cape Fear, in Southport.

My Dad (her son) did the research and she rode out like 15 direct hit hurricanes. She absolutely refused to evacuate her house. Never more than some branches to pick up in the yard. They don't make 'em like that anymore.... my Busha or houses like hers.

I actually drove from Bragg to Southport one weekend, when I was in the Q-Course to help her clean up the yard and all the roads were closed. I eventually made it. She was just like it was nothing!

Anyway, stay safe! We're watching down here in FL too!
