Just a little note: Floyd was one of the most devastating hurricanes in US history. It killed 57 people and did $4.5 billion in damage.
NC got a nice little breeze and some good rain from Charley. I don't think anyone would like an NC resident saying they hope for another Charley since it was fun in NC.
I wasn't sure of the actual numbers but, I do remember that cleaning up after "him" was a very unpleasant task. I lived in Raleigh at the time and I recall it just being an insane amount of rain there, flooding many low-lying areas but, to the East of us ,there was massive flooding. Our trucks were contracted to help in the aftermath and I never want to see the things that I saw then ever again! It was very sad and put the power of Mother Nature into perspective for me. I really learned then that a hurricane isn't just all about the wind strength but, the water really can be overpowering and just as damaging and deadly!!
