He's right, it's 5 acres.
If you`re lucky you`ll take a direct hit, knock the place flat, and you`ll cash that big insurance check because it`s insured for replacement cost. It`s a win-win.
Hmmmm....!

200.000 people without power in N.C. now.
Honestly, that's when Europeans laugh at us. Back in the early 70's they changed all their overhead power lines to underground.
Why that hasn't been done in North America, yet.... is nuts, esspecially in hurricane states, like Florida, Texas, La, N.C, S.C, Ge, etc.
And Tornedo Alley on top of it, too.
Same in Canada, with the east coast getting hurricanes and power failure, or even ice storms that have the same effect.
Now, that could have been the best stimulus money they could have spent 2 years ago !
Instead, they keep paying and paying, over and over again, to replace those damn powerlines, and let people suffer for days or even weeks without any power !

If your 'dry ground' is covered with 4' of water.......buried utilities are just as vulnerable as up in the sky ones are to high winds.
I live in a section where all utilities are underground. Why did you think only Europe did that. I've had underground since I moved to CA. in '91.

Shouldn`t you be practicing your hurricane alert with some leftover hotdogs about now instead of making vacation plans? Hurry, start stuffing them in! Disasster (pun) could strike at any moment!

All new neighborhoods here have underground. That's the way they have been building them for decades now.
But, even that doesn't help if the powerlines towards my neighborhood fall !
Europe is much more used to flooding then we are.
You need to watch more world news to find that one out, and they don't have a problem with power outage !

Down to 16 boats left( normally around 150 ) in my little harbor; most of the professional lobstermen have moved into Boston Harbor or are beaching their boats on the mud flats along the Saugus River. Just about ever yard has a boat or two in it now.
Kind of quiet down by the local wharf.
Some light rain so far, seas are calm.
