We have to make our evacuation decision when a storm is off the coast of North Carolina.

There are always going to be people who refuse to leave. We hope they don't turn into casualties.

In a Category 1 storm, we would definitely evacuate -- there's only one route [Route 72] off.

The stomach – the decision maker for so many people!

It is often said that a wrong decision taken at the right time is better than a right decision taken at the wrong time.

I was pleased with the decision of the board. I was confident that was how they would decide. The charge seemed frivolous.
