Don’t take Hurricane Earl lightly
To my friends who have moved to eastern North Carolina in the past few years and may not have experienced a major hurricane: do not take the approach of Hurricane Earl lightly. That doesn’t mean you should panic — but don’t tune the news of the storm out if you live in coastal North Carolina.
As of 5 p.m. today, Earl’s sustained winds were 135 mph. The storm’s minimum central barometric pressure, which is another measure of a hurricane’s intensity, is 940 MB, or 27.76 inches.

Looks like we struck a nerve…
I was rather surprised to find this letter to the editor in this week’s Brunswick Beacon.
The letter begins as follows: “It has already started. The ink was hardly dry on David Redwine’s filing papers before he was attacked by Frank Williams, chairman of the 7th Congressional District Republican Party. Most people I know are tired of the ‘gotcha’ politics of chairman Williams.”
Looks like we struck a nerve.
The letter was written in response to an article in which this press release was quoted. It is my understanding that the author of the letter is a “big-time Democrat” activist (the words in quotes are repeated verbatim from someone who knows the author of the letter).
