If the storm is strong enough, then mandatory evacuations are issued for the Outer Banks, and onward in depending on storm intensity. You will almost never find a basement in Eastern North Carolina.

Dunno, Here in Jersey we shrug it off mostly. some Area get evacuated before hand, usally those right on the coast or area's prone to flooding, Like Manasquan and Seaside Around were I live. Other than that, I imagine most places do the same thing, specially Florida, it just goes with were you live.

...Iowa = safeI think. It'd be weird seeing a Hurricane out here.
Iowa is so lame and boring, no reason for a hurricane to visit it anyway~
dont hurt
looks like a good time to get out of dodge!
Anyone wanna put me up in their place for a few days? Ive got the plane tickets to get there.
Seriously though...this, if it hits, is gonna suck. majorly. Lets hope it goes away 
And Ryuu was right about how its handled here. Depends on the severity of the storm, normally mandatory evacs are made known at least a day in advance, more sometimes. They have shelters for people to go to if they are displaced due to this.
FYI: The last major hurricane to hit NC was Floyd. THAT one managed to cause massive damage fro mthe rainfall, they just in the past year finally finished getting everyone displaced into new homes. [ 09-12-2003: Message edited by: Falaanla Marr ]

Heading to the basement is the wrong thing to do. Even if you're away from the beach, the rain something like this can dump will come so hard and so fast that storm drains can overflow. This creates flooding, even in normally flood-free areas. And during a flood, you don't want to be in the basement.
Mostly, you just get the hell out of Dodge.

Safe?
Maybe you've forgotten, but we live in an area prone to tornados. Sure, they don't do as large an area of destruction, but they don't give a few weeks of warning either. Hell, you don't even get a day's warning.
Not to mention, what a tornado hits is GONE.

Pesco had this to say about Duck Tales:
Tam told me last night that the base she is stationed at was starting preparations for evacuating due to the hurricane. She was told "keep her sea bag ready".
My uncle says that they may ahve to evacuate the little island he's on out there and will probably end up in Florida for awhile.
's her Canada.Stay safe, guys. And Fal, if you feel the need to visit Toronto I can, like, give you the couch or something 
.
G'luck keeping non-smashed.
Also, by the time it hits land it's probably going to pussy out considerably. So only a few people are probably going to be dealing with a true category 5...which is probably a good thing. [ 09-12-2003: Message edited by: Suddar ]

This could hit Maine, but I doubt it. Perhaps graze us. It's been awhile since we've been really hit by a hurricane.Also, by the time it hits land it's probably going to pussy out considerably.

Which is what sucks about living on/near the coast. we get the full beating from these things.

Not lookin so good for us no more.
Yeah, I'm prolly gonna be goin home to stay with grandma and grandpa if this thing hits, they'll need help with cleanup afterwards.
But yeah, it looks like its definitely on the way for us now. Wanna come over there and hang out during the hurricane? [ 09-15-2003: Message edited by: Falaanla Marr ]
