The statement was made by climatologist the other day that we are in the same weather pattern that we were in in the 1950's . These are all listed Category 5 hurricanes . Hurricane Hazel a Category 4 storm tore my hometown a new Bunghole cutting many new inlets and slues here and washing over parts of Bouge Banks and Shackleford Banks the Barrier Islands that Protect us from the Atlantic Ocean . All Duck can say is if a 4 or 5 is coming our way, I'm like Forrest Gump , " Run Forrest , RUN ! " Pack what you hold dear to your heart and take it "with you "because it probably won't be there when you get home or at least where home used to be . After working so many Major Hurricanes it only leaves me to speak these words Dammit Man!! "There is Nothing Like Mother Nature"

I'd rather live my life believeing there is God and die to find out their isn't . Than to live my life as if their wasn't God and die to find out there is ! WHITFIELD
