State of Emergency

[MikeyKahr]

Should have figured...

Atlantic Beach actually has nothing to do with the community of Atlantic.AB is about 35 miles to the south.The media doesn`t ever even entertain the notion of soiling their Topsiders by coming this far into the marshlands.I`m kind of glad too.All they are hoping for is death and destruction.Might be fun using them for target practice though.

Should have figured the weather/news crews would get the name wrong, sorry about that. All they said was "Atlantic, NC" and not "Atlantic Beach, NC". I kept looking in the background to see if I'd see someone familiar carrying a Kahr! Stay safe, my friend, and stay dry! Holler if you need anything and me and uncle Bawanna will be there in a good 5-6 days.

Be careful, Dietrich and bug out if it's headed your way.

Dietrich you need to get your butt out of there, they increased it to Cat 4 and you know good and well Atlantic is the last point on the island and will be flooded....

Melissa, it's LOW country.

Count on it. You need us we'll come. We surely will. If to fight off looters, or help put stuff back together or just a celebration that the darn thing missed us and we got all worked up for nothing.

Like Jdlott said though, this sounds like a bad one and your way the heck out there on the edge of the world, I didn't think the map even went that far.

We can make it in 4 days if we drive a little faster and eat on the road.

Just saw Fox News on your beach there in Atlantic, Diet. Forget the white trash, I think you're right to hunker down and protect what's yours with all those weather and media hounds headed your way!! :84:

Like Diet said, Atlantic Beach is on the Intercoastal Waterway and Atlantic is at the end of the island, they are about 45 min- hour away from each. TOTALLY different towns... The words to come mind for Atlantic is Jason Aldeans's song HICKTOWN although jlottmc has taken dear out there when they were on a training op on the deserted, not in use miltiary base out there.

Kinda sad though Deit that jlottmc and I KNOW where they stay, at the Sheraton Hotel, EVERY time they have a freaking hurricane there. Course, kinda helps that is my old stomping grounds. My second home is Atlantic Beach/Morehead City/Salter Path/Indian Beach. My parents owned a trailer for over 30 years down there. MMM, sure do miss my NC beaches though and that area. If we had the money, we'd OWN a condo or house down there.

5-6 days my ass, you won't be able to get on the island in 5-6 days, more like 7-10 days with the airline flights, driving to GET to the island, manging to get on the island with the mandatory evacuations, then driving to Atlantic IF you can find it.... Oh yeah, did mention that they CLOSE the two major high rise bridges to get on the island and even after the hurricane is over, ONLY owners with a sticker showing they own property can get on for at least a few days after the hurricane blows through. NO tourists. Only property owners.

[MikeyKahr]

Au contraire mon cherie (actually cherie de jlottmc). Have early model van with special controls and Washington state plates with valid tags, will travel. Bridges? We don't need no stinking bridges!! We'll float there if we have to, to get to our brother's side. Uncle Bawanna has enough innertubes for grips that we'd be set! Okay we may be delayed a bit as uncle B will need to drive around the PRO Illinois but not much. I may not be as resourceful and wise as my good uncle, but between the two of us we'd be worth at least 1/2 a jocko. Okay maybe a third. (Tongue firmly in cheek!) On second thought, Diet - you're on your own! We'll send FEMA your coordinates and hope for the best!

No worries, I got a boat! Have van with trailer hitch. Half of getting there is wanting to get there and by beagle dog, if I decide to visit my pal Dietrich the North Carolina national guard ain't gonna stand in my way and we aint' gonna pay no toll.

Wonder if my handicap sticker means anything?

FEMA, we don't need no FEMA.................................

Actually,Atlantic is the highest point of land in the Down East section of North Carolina.Flooding here isn`t nearly the problem that it is in other nearby communities during hurricanes.Also just for the record,Atlantic isn`t the last point on the island.It isn`t located on an island.Atlantic is located on the mainland.Atlantic Beach,much further south,is located on an island.Don`t take my word for it.Check out a map.Back in the late nineties,the coast of NC was hit with two storms back to back within a couple of weeks of each other.I believe they were named Floyd and Dennis.Flooding Down East was widespread and caused much damage but Atlantic didn`t flood.My brother in law`s house in Sea Level [3 miles away]suffered extensive flood damage and during its` repair, he and his family moved into his Mom`s house in Atlantic.

LOL, I remember Floyd and Dennis Deit...Remember I'm a NC girl. jlottmc was actually flying in and just getting stationed at Camp Lejeune at the time, that was 1999. He later got transferred to the Cherry Pit in Newport. With those hurricanes they flooded even in Raleigh/I95/I40...The radio stations in Raleigh were doing doing fund raisers to collect water to take down to the coast and I heard despise Clint Black's song Like the Rain because they played it OVER and OVER and OVER again. Those two were pretty bad storms. This one I don't know if it is bad, but HUGE. Looks like another one that is going to reach up into Raleigh.

What I like about Colorado's constitution is that it may give the gov the power to declare emergencies, but as far as weaponry goes, he can only control the sale of ammunition, not the possesion or use of firearms.
To buy more during martial law, you must have his approval.
I think you'll be more worried about other things than stockpiling ammo at that time.
Good reason to do so now.

No Katrina crap is gonna happen here.

We'll be like the LA shop owners and sit on our roofs and shoot anyone trying to loot or attack.

Still though, I do not understand why in heaven's name, anyone would allow the gov even when declaring martial law to control your right to bear arms?

You have the GOD given right to self defense and the constitution just clarifies that, doesn't state that the government gives you that right.
They can't and shouldn't be allowed to take those "rights" away for any reason. They then become a dictatorship/monarchy.

Not in America we would say. But then look at what happened in Katrina...
Unbelievable.

[heeler]

Well be careful to all in the sights of this nasty hurricane.
Having been through three in my life with the last one just three years ago,namely Ike,I want no mo of those damn things.

[Longitude Zero]

Having dealt with both tornadoes are worse than hurricanes. Tornadoes happen unexpectedly with ony a thunderstorm as a precurrsor. Hurricanes are ponderously slow comparitively and getting ready is possible.

Hurrican evacuation is possible and the smart thing to do. Tornado evacuation is not possible, yet.

[MikeyKahr]

And hurricanes are huge and affect so much area and so many people at the same time where tornadoes are relatively small in size (albeit destructive!)
