strong tropical storm force winds extend very far out from the center, so even if it's not a direct hit, strong winds are likely.. in fact it's estimated 39 plus mph winds extend 200 miles from the center.. trust me I've been in hurricanes, even TS winds can be damaging, especially for areas not used to strong prolonged winds! |
NC gets hit by hurricanes like twice a year. Most buildings are built with them in mind. NC is not the place to worry about unless it randomly decides to shift inward 50 miles.
