And you thought the 2005 tropical-weather season was over
Nah. Apparently we're going to run out of year before we run out of storms.

Maybe you should tell that to the Governor and all his economic development cronies - before they dredge the Cape Fear River and build a giant seaport at Southport. Of course, what happened in New Orleans and southern Louisiana holds no lessons for North Carolina.
It's bad enough that the entire, very fragile barrier-island coast is a frenzied feeding ground for get-rich-quick realtors . . . but forecasters say that we've got up to fifty years of nastybad storms coming our way . . . with the potential to make Floyd and Katrina look like tea parties.
When all of those gadzillion-dollar homes are matchsticks in the graveyard of the Atlantic, and home-owners want the government to bail them out . . . what will Governor "Easily" say then?
I suppose lame ducks can swim though.
