Charlotte, NC, some 175 miles from Hugo's initial landfall area. I cannot stress strongly enough how much damage these massive storms can do, and how far inland they can still wreck havoc. Many areas of both South and North Carolina were without power for WEEKS, not days. And damn straight-we don't wait for the governor to tell us to scram-we get a head start.
