Additionally, we utilized a registration-based sample of landline phone numbers for adults who are registered to vote in California. All landline telephone exchanges in California were eligible for selection. After a household was reached, an adult respondent was randomly chosen for interviewing using the “last birthday method” to avoid biases in age and gender.

I guess when you’re on the beach covering these storms, there isn’t much debris coming off the ocean. That scene was seared into my memory, but it would pale in comparison to my next encounter. As I drove to work and saw the trees bending in the wind, I really felt vulnerable and thought I had waited too long to get to work. Oh wait… that wasn’t lightning… it was transformers blowing up! Concern turned into fear and all I could think about was getting to work in one piece.
And what I’m going to be coming back to you with, as an example — I don’t know if I’m going to do it from the podium or a release — but take an average family who’s going to go visit their mother or father for Thanksgiving. What — what’s the — what’s the charge if they’re going to come home from school? It doesn’t add up to billions for the individual but it adds up to two, three, four hundred bucks for average families. Last week, the Federal Trade Commission started work on a rule to crack down on unfair and deceptive fees across all industries, fees that were never disclosed — never disclosed. And there was no way to avoid the fee, like processing fees for concert tickets or like resort fees.

George Metts was a paramedic in McClellanville, SC working in the emergency evacuation shelter Lincoln High School as Hugo's storm surge swept into the building. A publication of NC's Agricultural Extension Service with several pages on the storm's impacts across North Carolina. Good summary page on the storm, including the transcript of an interview with Charleston mayor Joe Riley. Hurricane Hugo was without a doubt the most intense storm I have personally witnessed. Later storms haven't eclipsed the wind speeds I observed during Hugo or had the same impact on me personally. Let's all hope it's at least another generation before a storm of Hugo's caliber strikes the Carolinas again.

“Los Angeles” refers to Los Angeles County, “Inland Empire” refers to Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, and “Orange/San Diego” refers to Orange and San Diego Counties. Residents of other geographic areas are included in the results reported for all adults, registered voters, and likely voters, but sample sizes for these less-populous areas are not large enough to report separately. We also present results for congressional districts currently held by Democrats or Republicans, based on residential zip code and party of the local US House member. We analyze the results of those who live in competitive house districts as determined by the Cook Political Report’s 2022 House Race Ratings updated September 1, 2022. These districts are 3, 9, 13, 22, 27, 40, 41, 45, 47, and 49; a map of California’s congressional districts can be found here.
Across the state’s regions, two in three in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles support Newsom, as do nearly half in the Inland Empire and Orange/San Diego; likely voters in the Central Valley are split. Newsom leads in all demographic groups, with the exception of men (45% Newsom, 44% Dahle) and those with a high school diploma only (46% Newsom, 49% Dahle). However, a big potential stumbling block for Microsoft’s mobile gaming ambitions could be its control of Call of Duty on both mobile and console. Microsoft has seen success with Xbox Game Pass, and it has made it clear it wants to bring Activision games to the service.
The state-of-the-art room is one of the things to see in the city in itself. The Pig Pounder Brewery is a simple but high-quality Greensboro-born microbrewery in the heart of the city. Its program is renowned globally, with 15 annual exhibitions, multiple educational programs and activities for all ages, and many publications about art and its history.
Schools operated on a two-hour delay for roughly another week to give students without power at home extra time to get ready for school. In closing, while I do carry a few fond memories from that event, make no mistake, I hope I never see anything like that again in my lifetime. It certainly gave me a whole new appreciation and understanding of what hurricanes are capable of, and not just along the coast. And I believe it made me a better meteorologist with a keener understanding of how to inform and, if necessary, warn people of the dangers from tropical weather even in this normally protected region. Rainfall totals were surprisingly low for such a large and powerful hurricane. Hugo's rapid forward movement, nearly 35 mph as it turned north-northwestward between Columbia and Charlotte, was likely responsible for these low totals.
Monroe is a solid 200 miles inland, but both these storms produced very rough weather across our area and thus, I thought I had learned what to expect from dying hurricanes which move that far inland. According a publication by the Carolina Bird Club at least 25 species of birds were carried inland by Hurricane Hugo, well away from the oceanic locations they typically inhabit. Particularly noteworthy were reports of 27 Black Skimmers, six Least Terns, a Bridled Tern and a White-tailed Tropicbird near Shelby, North Carolina, approximately 200 miles inland. Lake Norman north of Charlotte also accumulated some rare species including three Brown Noddys. By daybreak on September 22nd the storm had been inland for many hours and the eye was no longer discernible in satellite and radar imagery.
Hurricanes need the continuous extraction of heat energy from a warm ocean surface to maintain their low pressure and strong winds. Hugo crossed Interstate 40 between Hickory and Morganton and was downgraded to a tropical storm. The weakening storm then turned northward and moved through the mountainous terrain of Virginia and West Virginia, still producing wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph east of the storm's center. Hugo weakened to a category 4 hurricane on September 16th as it aimed at the Leeward Islands of Guadeloupe and Montserrat.
Near the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park and the Natural Science Center of Greensboro, you’ll find the simply-named Country Park. As it turns out, near a bunch of other attractions in the center of Greensboro, you’ll find the amazing restaurant Crafted. The GreenHill Center for NC Art has an impressive exhibition space that spans 7,000 square feet, featuring a wide range of permanent and rotating exhibits that focus on contemporary art. Studio time can be reserved online, ensuring you get the time needed to DIY your home decor and crafts with ease.
The problem was, we still had no meteorological equipment in the station that would help me analyze weather in any meaningful way. We were in the process of procuring it, but not in time for this fateful storm. The extent of my weather charts amounted to one 8x10 sheet of paper faxed to us from Accu-Weather showing a simplified surface map of the United States and the positions of the cold fronts and warm fronts. We did have a weather ticker too, so at least I was able to read the discussions and bulletins being issued by the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center. So from that standpoint I was able to talk somewhat intelligently about the impending weather. We also had an early generation of a local Doppler radar, but that doesn’t help when dealing with tracking tropical cyclones.
So this is what they meant when storm survivors said it looked like a war zone. I too thought this stuff only happened to ‘other’ people. It took me a long time to get home as I encountered numerous delays with trees, power lines, signs and debris in the road along with the detours. We present results for five geographic regions, accounting for approximately 90 percent of the state population. “Central Valley” includes Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Fresno, Glenn, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Shasta, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tehama, Tulare, Yolo, and Yuba Counties. “San Francisco Bay Area” includes Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties.
Hugo's winds across western North Carolina caused tremendous destruction to a region that virtually never sees such impacts from a tropical system. I think the eye passed somewhere near Sumter, SC which is only 30 miles away. That town was devastated by Hugo as was most of the area. I was a boy then and remember watching pine trees blow over from the winds. Hugo came at night and once it started blowing pretty hard, we lost power. The winds finally got so bad that we were actually afraid the house was going to be destroyed.
