This paper examines data from the Cape Fear region of North Carolina, an area at elevated exposure to hurricanes and catastrophic risk. The findings support an earlier documented pattern of price declinations with successive hurricane landfalls. The findings also reveal a tempering of this trend in the years after the last major strike in 1999. A test statistic is constructed for the timing and intensity of the real estate market reaction to perceptions of catastrophic risk. A Chow test is used to frame market responses to repeated hurricane landfalls in the study area.

We had to take all the meat and vegetables in three freezers and make Brunswick stew and can it in the big black pot. It was some work but it was either that or loose it. Nogas, no water except for the old hand pump we still have today. This entire community got water; it pumped night and day and never went dry.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Miami is not going to a bowl this season, self-imposing a ban that school officials say was "necessary" in response to an ongoing NCAA investigation into the university's compliance practices.
