    Morehead City/Atlantic Beach (North Carolina)?
    Question:
    We're going to rent a house in or near Atlantic Beach with a lot of family members in August. Most are from NC, but no one is from Morehead City/Atlantic Beach. Any suggestions for nearby activities for an active 5-year old girl? We'll do swimming, shell collecting, sand castles, fishing, etc., but do you have suggestions that someone from outside the area (like me) wouldn't know or think about? Also, any restaurant suggestions would be good too (for a night out with wifey). Thanks. We're already looking forward to it.

    Answer:
    My in-laws have a place in Emerald Isle (which is on the same island as Atlantic Beach; just the opposite side of it.) Atlantic Beach does seem to be the more family-friendly side of the island. There is a small amusement park (which is geared for the younger kids); there are also multiple mini-golf places. As well as there is a small aquarium on the island. As far as restaurants, we generally stick to Emerald Isle but I'll give you my recommendations here: Tortuga's (a good "date" restaurant; not somewhere to bring your 5 yr old) http://www.tortugas.net/default.aspx Rucker John's Restaurant (good food, kids ok, atmosphere similar to TGI Fridays) http://www.ruckerjohns.com/ Bushwackers (good food, good view; I wouldn't go here on a "date" but if you are looking for an enjoyable place for adults and kids, this is a good location.)

    Can you recommend a North Carolina beach?
    Question:
    I'm visiting my Marine this weekend at Camp Lejeune, NC. Can anyone recommend a nice beach within an hour or so driving distance for a day trip? I looked at a map and here are some of the names I found: Surf City, Sneads Ferry, Cape Carteret, Emerald Isle, Bogue Sound, Pin Knoll Shores, Atlantic Beach, Beaufort. We prefer a less populated, quieter beach, we love wildlife and clean, natural areas, and we're definitely not into clubbing. If you're familiar with the vicinity, I'd welcome your suggestions. Thanks!

    Answer:
    Okracoke Island is accessible by ferry, and it is so secluded. You & your Marine would love the privacy. Shake his hand for me, tell 'em I appreciate his service. :-)

    Trip to the eastern North Carolina area..wondering about up coming weather?
    Question:
    I have a question for people that live in eastern North Carolina or for anybody that's been in the Greenville and Atlantic Beach area. I am flying out next Saturday to the Greenville area to visit my family and were planning on going to the beach at Atlantic Beach. I heard it's a little stormy over there right now or might be next week....I was just wondering how the weather is in that area right now and what you heard the weather is suppose to be in the next couple weeks. Some help would be great! Thank you!

    Answer:
    Have you heard about the fires! Geez ...we live in southe east VA and the smoke from fires from NC are so bad its making it hard to see. Burning the eyes, making it hard to breathe... The weather is "supposed" to clear it out but I heard some say the wind will take it south instead of north. The fires are up to 65 square miles (40,000 acers) and only 40% controled I read on the paper. The heat has been unuasually hot for the season but is supposed to come back down to a normal level soon. They will take the code orange ozone alert down tommrow they said.

    Question:
    the onse in north carlina..that is lol sorry that my typings so messed up...;aksfdjiodjf hah so please help..thatk you!

    Answer:
    I think Carolina Beach would tend to attract more of a younger crowd and family travelers. It is very close to the city of Wilmington and also only a bit up the coast from Myrtle Beach. On the other hand, I think Atlantic Beach would be a bit quieter with travelers who go simply to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. It pretty much depends on what you are looking for in your vacation.

    Need some place different to go on Vacation in the US?
    Question:
    My husband and I are trying to plan a vacation probably over the summer months since I am a teacher- We're newlyweds and money is kind of tight so I don't think we should really travel outside of the country, but we need someplace beautiful, warm, shopping (especially outlet shopping is a plus) We've been to Florida so many times (Tampa, Clearwater, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm). We really enjoyed Atlantic beach in North Carolina last year and we went to Palm Springs California for our honeymoon- I would love some suggestions! We live in Massachusetts by the way

    Answer:
    Let me get this straight: You live in Massachusetts but you have not thought about driving only 3 or 4 hours to the border area of VT and QC????? Certainly beautiful. Plenty of lakeside beaches. Lots of cottages and charming inns (cheaper on the QC side of the border by the way, in what is known as the Eastern Townships district) and great restaurants. Within an hour's drive: Outlet shopping in Plattsburgh; fashion shopping (and hundreds of more great restaurants) in Montreal. The extensive summer festivals in joie de vive Montreal; a couple of smaller ones also in charming Burlington. Even a small wine growing district (centered in Dunham). An International trip for your budget. PS: For some reason - perhaps the soil or terroir - the summer sweet corn grown in the Richelieu and Chateauguay Valley areas is extra succulent and sweet - we've had fun to spend a summer day to drive the 5 hours from Boston just to get some. And in QC you can buy genuine cultured butter at the supermarkets to swather on it without paying an arm and a leg. YUMMIE!

    is this a good report?
    Question:
    i have a report on hurricane floyd that is due on wednsday there has got to be some teachers on this site: you can put it on microsoft word to see it better Hurricane Floyd ‘What is a hurricane?’ you might ask yourself. A hurricane is a violent storm of the Western North Atlantic and has wind speeds of up to 72 miles per hour. They form when the temperature is at least 26 degrees, as it slowly gets taller it releases latent heat which is a source of energy for a cyclone, there needs to be a lot of moisture in the air, there needs to be a low wind shear because if it had high wind shear the hurricane would break apart and it has to be 500 km away from the equator. The dangers a hurricane poses to human society is that causes a large amount of death, loss of housing, little to eat and billions of dollars in property damages. The people who issue warnings and watches are weathermen who tell us if the hurricane is mild or if its extremely bad you have to take shelter immediately. Have you ever wondered what categories they place hurricanes and what they call the scale that classifies the devastation of a hurricane? The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale classifies the most Western Hemisphere cyclones that range from either “tropical depression” to “tropical storms” wich eventually become hurricanes. Category 1 doesn’t really do much damage to houses and buildings but will do some damage to mobile homes and trees and some flooding. Category 2 would do some damages to houses, the flooding will damage some piers and the boats who aren’t well anchored be damaged. Category 3 there will be minor damage to some houses and buildings, any mobile homes will be completely destroyed, and the flooding would destroy smaller structure but will damage higher structures. Category 4 would destroy the roofs of houses, large erosion areas by the beach. Category 5 is the most devastating hurricane of them all. Houses would be destroyed, building structures would be either blown away or damaged, the flooding would cause extreme damage to all lower floors that are near the shoreline, and people would need to evacuate as soon as possible. Hurricane Floyd was a very strong category 4 and almost had a category 5 rating and was the largest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded. Hurricane Floyd was formed off the coast of Africa and lasted from September 7th to September 19th and became a category 4 hurricane and almost became a category 5. It struck the Bahamas and caused heavy damage. It went to the East Coast of the U.S which enormous evacuations. Floyd was responsible for 57 deaths and $4.5 billion in damages and this was in North Carolina. While Floyd was crossing the Bahamas it was almost becoming a category 5 for 12 hours and was weakened to a category 3 and was soon had enough strength to become a category 4. As it went through Florida it slowly started to weaken because of all the dry air. As Floyd accelerated to the north it weakened so much that Floyd became a category 2 on September 16. As of the 17th the storm continued to the northeast and later disappeared in Newfoundland After the devastation of hurricane Floyd came a lot of criticism saying that there was a very slow response. The runoff from the hurricane made problems for North Carolina’s rivers. One major concern was with all the freshwater in the ocean that people were afraid that fish and shrimp would die off killing the fishing and shrimp industries. Amazingly however, both industries were thriving because many marine animals moved to saltier waters so could become less vulnerable to Floyd’s effects. Pollution was also a scare because there were a ton of pesticides in river waters but unlike hurricane Fran the pesticides were lower because Floyd had more rain, which diluted the pesticides making them weaker. Child abuse was also a problem near the hardest hit areas in North Carolina which was probably caused by the aftermath of Floyd which caused parental stress because of all their losses and rebuilding. The East Coast, Florida and Massachusetts were under a hurricane warning at one point. Even with those specific areas that were mentioned only half actually were hit by hurricane like winds. Hurricane trackers were afraid that Florida was going to be the worse hit with a category 4 hurricane. Because of the warning one million Florida residents were told to evacuate. As the storm went north more people evacuated and caused the largest peacetime evacuations ever in the U.S with 2.6 million evacuating Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas alone. Hurricane Floyd was the deadliest U.S hurricane since hurricane Agnes. 57 people died and cost 4.5 billion dollars. In the Bahamas 1 person died, in North Carolina 35 people died, in Virginia 3 people died, in Delaware 2 people died, in Pennsylvania 6 people died, in New Jersey 6 people died. In New York 2 people died, in Connecticut I person died and in Vermont one person died as well. In the Bahamas the hurricane knocked out power and communication lines. Abaco Island, Cat Island, San Salvador Island, and Eleuthera Island was where the most damage had occurred where Floyd had uprooted trees and destroyed houses, restaurants, hotels and shops. Despite all the damage Bahamian citizens felt really lucky because only one person died and only a small number of injuries had occurred. North Carolina received most of the storms impact and had 35 deaths and caused billions in damage. Floyd also created some tornados but only caused minimal damage. 500,000 costumers were left without electricity due to the damage of the power lines. The rainfall and strong winds affected many homes across North Carolina destroying 7,000 houses, due to the storm 17,000 houses were in a state of disrepair and damaged 56,000 houses and made ten thousand people to live in shelters.

    Answer:
    The information is pretty good. Some of your sentences run on and should be split up. Also, read through it carefully, as you are missing words here and there, like: "The dangers a hurricane poses to human society is that causes a large amount of death, " Should be "The dangers a hurricane poses to human society is that it causes a large amount of death, " or even better "it may cause" since not all hurricanes do cause all of those things. Now, where are your citations? Where did all your information come from? Not right out of your head I'm sure, so you need to let your teacher know where you got that information from. With some minor corrections, I think it's a pretty good job. By the way, what grade level is this for?

    What category of Hurricane would you evacuate your home in?
    Question:
    I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and we are supposed to get a hurricane. For me it would be 4 or 5. Category 3 or lower, you can ride that out. Category One Hurricane: Winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 km/hr). Storm surge generally 4-5 ft above normal. No real damage to building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Some damage to poorly constructed signs. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage. Hurricane Lili of 2002 made landfall on the Louisiana coast as a Category One hurricane. Hurricane Gaston of 2004 was a Category One hurricane that made landfall along the central South Carolina coast. Category Two Hurricane: Winds 96-110 mph (83-95 kt or 154-177 km/hr). Storm surge generally 6-8 feet above normal. Some roofing material, door, and window damage of buildings. Considerable damage to shrubbery and trees with some trees blown down. Considerable damage to mobile homes, poorly constructed signs, and piers. Coastal and low-lying escape routes flood 2-4 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Small craft in unprotected anchorages break moorings. Hurricane Frances of 2004 made landfall over the southern end of Hutchinson Island, Florida as a Category Two hurricane. Hurricane Isabel of 2003 made landfall near Drum Inlet on the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane. Category Three Hurricane: Winds 111-130 mph (96-113 kt or 178-209 km/hr). Storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal. Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off trees and large trees blown down. Mobile homes and poorly constructed signs are destroyed. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by battering from floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 ft above mean sea level may be flooded inland 8 miles (13 km) or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences with several blocks of the shoreline may be required. Hurricanes Jeanne and Ivan of 2004 were Category Three hurricanes when they made landfall in Florida and in Alabama, respectively. Category Four Hurricane: Winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 km/hr). Storm surge generally 13-18 ft above normal. More extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Shrubs, trees, and all signs are blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Extensive damage to doors and windows. Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain lower than 10 ft above sea level may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 6 miles (10 km). Hurricane Charley of 2004 was a Category Four hurricane made landfall in Charlotte County, Florida with winds of 150 mph. Hurricane Dennis (pdf) of 2005 struck the island of Cuba as a Category Four hurricane. Category Five Hurricane: Winds greater than 155 mph (135 kt or 249 km/hr). Storm surge generally greater than 18 ft above normal. Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. All shrubs, trees, and signs blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Severe and extensive window and door damage. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Major damage to lower floors of all structures located less than 15 ft above sea level and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas on low ground within 5-10 miles (8-16 km) of the shoreline may be required. Only 3 Category Five Hurricanes have made landfall in the United States since records began: The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, Hurricane Camille (1969), and Hurricane Andrew in August, 1992. The 1935 Labor Day Hurricane struck the Florida Keys with a minimum pressure of 892 mb--the lowest pressure ever observed in the United States. Hurricane Camille struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast causing a 25-foot storm surge, which inundated Pass Christian. Hurricane Katrina (pdf), a category 5 storm over the Gulf of Mexico, was still responsible for at least 81 billion dollars of property damage when it struck the U.S. Gulf Coast as a category 3. It is by far the costliest hurricane to ever strike the United States. In addition, Hurricane Wilma (pdf) of 2005 was a Category Five hurricane at peak intensity and is the strongest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record with a minimum pressure of 882 mb.

    Answer:
    Depends on what kind of home you live in. With that said, I have never evacuated my house because of a hurricane, and I've been through every storm that hit FL since the early 90's. If you live in a trailer home, you should evacuate with a 2 or higher.

    Question:
    (We had heard the reports of the hurricane for the passed three days. As it blew by Puerto Rico, it was picking up more speed. With winds nearing one hundred fifteen miles per hour. Two years ago those folds who live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina had already expeienced, two frightening hurricanes-within two months of each other. Needless to say, most residents, having lost much twenny four months earlier, heeded the warnings of weather fourcasters and evacuated inland. The people along the Atlantic Coast listened intently to the hurrican reports. Local beach officials did not permit swimming. Though surfing was allowed in some are4as. Tides were exceptionally high waves; were three to six feel above normal. The water was up to the dunes and boardwalks two days before the hurricane even hit the mainland hundred of miles away. The lessons teached by any hurricane is quite simple. Safety is paramour. Those who throw caution to the wind might not live to tell about the next hurrican
