[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is sure seems like NC is in bad weather’s path much more than SC. Maybe because we have several friends and family in NC and we pay close attention to all the weather news. [/quote] It's true. If you look at a map showing the track of hurricanes historically, Wilmington, NC is the bull's eye. The coast of SC is recessed, and further away from the Gulf Stream, so it simply doesn't get as many hurricanes and those that hit tend to have weakened a bit by the time they hit the coast. Of course, there are always exceptions (Hugo). The tides are very extreme on the SC coast, as well (8 feet in some places), so the storm surge from a hurricane that hits at low tide is not likely to cause damage. There was a major hurricane that hit the SC coast in the 50's that hit at low tide and caused no flooding damage. [/quote]
