CNN anchors well educated? HAHAHAHAHAHA.

And compared to Gulf coast in Mississippi and New Orleans, the outer banks are barely developed. I've been to both places and seen them myself. The outer banks has always had occasional "Katrina like" destructive storms. They are on the North Atlantic and are often the first place a hurricane hits and being narrow sandbars with lots of open water on each side there is nothing to brunt the effects of the storm. This whole fuss is about a relatively few building permits in what has always been a dangerous area. I am much more concerned about the defunding of the public University system and the Art Pope funded "teaching" of "conservative economics" and other Ayn Randian fantasy at North Carolina State University.
