The problem is that the cost to build is very expensive right now.

It's the downtown on the water, so yeah, that's where most people want to be. Until they don't.

To be fair, this was the highest surge ever recorded for downtown PG.

Almost all the restaurants are closed.

The ER in the hospital is still closed too.

But this is nothing compared to what this storm brought to our friends to the North. North Carolina is horrible. 

PG and other places in Florida will bounce back. Some towns up North are just completely gone.

We like a restaurant with a deck overlooking the water.  So do a lot of people I'm sure, if the food is decent.

So, they build'em so we'll come.

There are a couple places like that in Hilton Head we frequent.  They are on the bay side so somewhat protected.

There are no water views at the Perfect Caper. It's downtown, but no view. Only a few places actually have water views.

This thing rose to a point that even two miles inland was under water.

We obviously got rain, but I gather most of it fell at night and I was asleep.  Frankly, without the news, my personal opinion of this would have been just another rain storm, but I am pretty sure I missed a lot of the action.  The 30 inches up on the mountain tops is what "precipitated" these disasters.

I know nothing about Atlanta drainage, but 11" had to leave a mark somewhere.

News reports had some flooding north of us, nothing extreme, and trees down here and there.  I was in the park yesterday and noted no tree damage.  Some power was out here and there, not here.  I'm still a bit surprised that the mountains were hit SO hard by this, but they clearly were.  The photos are real.

Flooding here usually is around a creek, Nancy Creek, Peachtree Creek, etc.  The river has a dam above us that usually controls flooding.  The area is rolling hills, so drainage is generally OK if nothing gets stopped up.  The hills of course are nothing like the mountains in NC.

The towns there are along rivers for obvious reasons.  This one somehow was far worse than anything in near recent history.

What River, and where is the damn dam?

Southern Ohio definitely got some flooding too. Not to the North Carolina extent, but pretty rough for those affected. Luckily I didn't hit any high water, but there was debris and crap all over the roads. It was mostly annoying because they kept sending flood warning for areas north of where I was, but the worse flooding was south. Not cool, weather service.
