First an earthquake and now the first major hurricane in the US since 2008, and the first major hurricane to hit NC since 1996 (Hurricane Fran: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_Carolina_hurricanes ).  And four of the 8 storm tracks bring it pretty much straight through New Bern...

Yeah.

I've collected a few of my post prized possessions and will be heading inland about 45 minutes to near by Greenville.  I don't expect any of my abodes to be severely damaged, but you never know with a hurricane.  And this is definitely the biggest one we've had since I've been in the region.  So I'm a little nervous about it.

Outside of the Hurricane, I have a lot on my mind and a lot to blog about, but I feel like I need to let it stew.  So that I can filter and edit and tell it so it says everything I need it to...
