Just curious: Why do you list NC, SC, and FL as choices but not GA? GA has a beautiful coast and also has the advantage of being set "inland" as far as the East Coastline goes. Because of this, it has a very long continental shelf that helps protect the coast from hurricane damage- the hurricane loses power as it heads toward the coast because it is so shallow for miles. Also, due to the state of GA being inward, most of the time hurricanes skip right past anyway and tend to hit NC coast the most.
