i've lived on the coast and throughout the states of of AL, GA, NC, SC, VA and MD. i've seen my share of huge storms - most notably living in chesapeake at the time of hurricane isabel which killed 30 people and la plata during the F4 tornado that completely pulverized our entire town and killed a handful of people. but that's not why i think this is unimpressive and my point was that this isn't the big deal everyone is making it out to be. this will blow over (literally) and in four days no one will even care.

yes there is a potential danger, but there will ALWAYS be one, it's just that usually it's earthquakes and fires.
