LOL. Haven't heard that in awhile. I stayed on base. I was just a young pup in the RDG. We weren't allowed to stay more than a few hours away from base anyhow and I saved all my coin for cars and gals, that little gal in the Outer Banks got a lot of it, as did my 83 Berlinetta. Ah, the good ole days. The gal turned out to be trouble as did the car, but life in the fast lane sure did seem fun at the time and I have mostly good memories of it.
Back to the real subject, that would stink if the house were hit. I didn't know they woudln't let your rebuild if a hurricane gets it. I know ocean front has some crazy rules sometimes though. Once again, stay safe. I will check this thread in the morning to see if you came through everything ok. I am assuming by tomorrow morning sometime the storm will be past if 3am tonight it is supposed to hit. I bet their isn't a sheet of plywood to be found in your entire area.
