Yup we were lucky - have heard real horror stories about some of the bad ones in past years here.

Also had the oppotuntiy to work in Cary N.C. in 1999 & went for a trip to the outter banks - now that would be a scary place to be in a big cyclone.

I still find it strange to think of all those house built with hollow 1st floors, just to let the tidal surge thru with minimal obstruction.

Cheers
