I mentioned in my post this morning this is the 12th anniversary of Hurricane Fran pummeling North Carolina.
Specifically, the first place Fran clobbered was Topsail Island.
And that was less than two months after Hurricane Bertha slammed Topsail.
It took years for the barrier island between Wilmington and Jacksonville to recover.
But Topsail has its fighting spirit back. People out there are thumbing their noses at Hanna, the Wilmington Star-News reported about a half-hour ago.
Hey, the weather's fine!
You gotta love the attitude.
Makes me wish I was there.
