Pea island was flooded and closed the day before, we had lucky timing
Met an old timer local last night, 85 and his wife and pooch. Wonderful couple.
He grew up here, his grandparents built the house they live in.
Got to talking about storms and evac from the island… looked at me like I had two heads, “son, you know how many locals have died from storms here since forever?
Zero.
We aint going nowhere”
