Weather in NC

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I already know about Churchill; you don't walk the streets at night (or much in the day for that matter)
I have no plans for anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon Line; or anywhere that can be deemed to be north of anywhere!

Then, don't go south of the Suwannee

I'm not going west; south only; any area with population less than 10,000; no Walmarts every 20+ miles, etc. That's progress for me.

No point, the "bears" in FL have shotguns and tear gas.

I'll bet they don't have airboats on the tundra either. . .

Fits his parameters. South. Population under 10,000. No Wal-Mart. Fish.

Uh . . . no. Not quite that far south. As far South of the remotest possibility of temperatures approaching 50 degrees.

A town, community, county, or parish population; not the country! Fish - - - :thumbup:

I think Louisiana is the only southern state that has parishes instead of counties; it's not quite far south enough; besides people there talk funny.

I'd head for Turks and Caicos. Easy to get residency, dollar currency, English language. Great place to be, not counting the hurricanes.

Yeah; not counting the hurricanes! I'll stick to the mainland. I want to be able to get away on my own terms, and I can run further than I can swim!

So Seth, if you're serious that your primary criteria are: fish availability, no Wal-Mart, fairly remote, and decent weather, you might want to check out the various places around Lake Okeechobee. There are Wal-Marts in the town of Okeechobee and Clewiston, but there's a lot of open area outside your "20 mile" range and there's no Wally World in Moore Haven. Avoid Belle Glade...baaaad place. Major bass fishing, including tournaments, lots of places to be a hermit with Spook. Fairly cheap area to live.

Local news showed minor damage in pensacola, but major damage in and around Century

Good video of the tornado - real wide path

Fell asleep last night remembering stories my X's grandparents told about the lake okeechobee hurricane that emptied the lake. Wiki confirms the story that 2,500 people drowned, but doesn't tell it quite the way they did.

When the water was pushed out of the lake to the south, the bottom of the empty lake was covered with fish.
The locals, equipped with everything from buckets to horse drawn wagons ventured out into the dry lake bed to collect fish.
About half of the 2,500 dead were drowned when the lake refilled faster than they could get out.

I loved their frontier stories. Both sets of the great grandparents came to Florida in the mid to late 1800s in wagons along the beach. I forget which, but one family increased the population of Ft. Pierce to 37.

Another florida book for seth - River of Grass. The science is 1940s, but the history is unbelievable, like the barefoot mailman who walked his route from St. Augustine to Miami along the beach.

I took a tour on Google Earth; looks fairly nice, but I have an affinity for salt-water areas; must be something in my DNA causing me to have this strange attraction for it. I love underwater oceans videos too. What's wrong with Belle Glade other than it appears to be a haven for the
sans-a-belt crowd? Also, the Lake Okeechobee area is way too close to the massively populated areas of the Atlantic region; you know those weekend get-awayers in their highly-polished, high-dollar, black-glassed 4WDs, etc. Thanks for the heads-up though; you never know.
