Was here in Charleston when Hugo came thru in 1989.(actually I hi-tailed it up to the old family farm 220 miles inland to ride it out) Be prepared for damage on a scale you can't imagine when you get back. Also, there were few casualities during the storm. Only one or two if I remember correctly, but when folks came back; that is when the deaths and very serious accidents began. Chainsaws killed a number of people. One guy had a huge oak blown up in his yard. He bought a chainsaw and was cutting it up but wasn't paying attention to his little boy who was playing in the great big stump hole. When he made the first cut thru near the base of the trunk, the stump flopped back into place killing the little boy. One out of town construction workers(you'll will get thousands of those)fell off of one of the old three story houses downtown and skewered himself on a spike on top of a wrought iron fence. Heck, a guy fell off of the roof of my church and got killed. Just be careful when you get back and watch out for friends and neighbors who may try to bite off more than they can chew during the clean-up and repair process.
