Driving along 30A it's kind of amazing to see some of the old places that are still standing. My guess is most of those will be gone after this though.

Watched a low Cat 1 come ashore at N. Myrtle Beach while on the 10th floor of one of those buildings several years ago. The balcony glass was at least a half inch thick and tempered. Must cost a fortune to build but I'll bet the rents pay for it all in just a few seasons

Most of the big condo-type structures are built with a 'blow-through' design. The structural walls are heavily-reinforced concrete and perpendicular to the beach. The idea is, in the worst storms the interiors get blasted away, but the structure remains intact. Last time I was in the area I saw a number of houses being built on/near the beach, but all were concrete. Probably code now.
Best wishes to those folks, let's hope not too many try to ride it out. Living on the coast seems to get people complacent: seen one 'cane, seen 'em all. But recent history shows that ain't necessarily so... c. practically all of the new construction i've seen (or vacationed in) has super-duper reinforced glass that supposedly will withstand a hurricane, tsunami, earthquake, alien attack and the occasional indirect meteor strike maybe

Has that been answered satisfactorily by anyone other than the Red Cross? Did they really produce such a one-sided report? The ARC seems to think NPR has it in for them.ShelterBox is a pretty good outfit, I think. But yes, they're going to need help.
