I remember Hurricane Floyd as if it were yesterday. As the storm approached landfall with a storm diameter of 500+ miles people moved away from the coast. Usually that was enough to prevent deaths, but, this storm pushed everyone inland. As I went up I-40 with family in tow there were no hotel rooms to find.
