And don't forget to make love. Candles and the sounds of pine trees splitting can be quite romantic. Leave the guns in the closet...

I just checked my GPS 1085ft - that’s about the extent of my GPS abilities / I did get the trail maps in it though.
#4 Buckshot with an IC choke (modified to stretch the range abit). High pellet count and good stopping power - if you have to engage at indoor distances - remember to have a mop.
Wishing you stay safe and well.

I was paying over 2k per year (all in full only BTW) to FEMA. Then earlier this year I discovered you can get private flood insurance for half the cost! Come December I’m telling FEMA to F off and getting private insurance for $1200. Still sucks but saving $1000 a year is better than nothing. Wish I owned the house so I didn’t need to waste money on flood insurance...

I've never seen a good looking AR, until now. That wood stock and can launcher look great.
Federal flood zones here in North Carolina are subsidized, yes. Then, there are what are called ‘Cobra’ zones. Those areas are not subsidized. So, for example, on North Topsail Island, it’s one long road. And you can drive through subsidized sections and cobra sections. In general, those in cobra zones bought the house for cash. Because last I checked, flood insurance in a Cobra zone is north of 20k a year. Which a bank will require that you purchase.
Keep in mind, it is inpossible for the island to flood. A flood is defined as slowly rising water. There will be plenty of floods inland. But on the island, the water doesn’t rise slowly, it’s call storm surge and it comes fast! Storm surge is covered by your home owner’s policy. So far as I know, through all the hurricanes North Topsail Beach has witnessed, not one homeowner has ever been paid off by a flood insurance policy.
Flood insurance for beach properties is a joke and a scam.
Just wait until I get off my lazy butt and get the rest of it ceracoated to look like a 17th century musket or cannon (havnt decided on which yet)

My fiance works for electric insurance which is the insurance arm of GE for all the executive's winter homes in Florida. Government pays in the end for all flood insurance since no bank will cover it
Ah gotcha..Well Godspeed to you and your family hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Looking for the right words,this pretty much covers it.

Good luck @StevieP
My wife’s sister has an ocean front house on Carolina Beach south of Wilmington. They have secured it and returned to their other house in Raleigh.
They real are not having the best of luck with that beach place, it has just been a few years since damage was repaired after a dude went on an arson/murder spree next door.

Positive vibes sent your way Stevie P. If the storm strikes hard I hope it moves quickly and doesn’t stall with an increased period of wind and rain. Sounds like your prepped really well. You have a beautiful home!

I never saw them as useful until now. Will definitely stop a BG in his tracks, and if your friend and neighbor across the flooded street runs out of beer you can lob a few over to him.
Can’t believe people are recommending backfeeding circuits, Paladin is going to have you horsewhipped.
Storm surge prediction. Some areas are “Over 9’ above ground” so that’s going to be a mess. A co-worker had relatives go through that in Sandy, and the neighborhood was trashed, with some houses collapsed. Note that the estuaries often get very high water,
