Arthur made landfall about 15 miles from me. I slept through the worst of it. Lots of rain and wind gusts in the 85-90 MPH range. We got no damage. Lost power at about half past midnight. Came back on about noon Fri.
The economy is highly tourist-driven (Emerald Isle is on an island). They get the power back on fast, especially on a holiday weekend.
Irene hit us on Labor Day weekend.
Arthur went by real fast, much faster than Irene. I was glad.
No, we didn't evac for either.
