thinking that it is no longer "if" it will happen but a matter of "when". The hurricanes in eastern North Carolina where I live just seem to be getting more frequent and more damaging as time marches on, and I can't afford the cost of my home being flooded out. I just have this bad feeling its coming to my neighborhood eventually so its time to protect myself, at least financially.
