Topsail Fran

[@bealgre]

I lived in Rose Hill then, and we got clobbered also...no power for 8 days, very hot, and I must have been the only one in my neighborhood without a generator...(lol). Hard to sleep with the heat (no breeze) and constant roar of the generators. Showered at a lady friend"s house in Wallace, she had no power either, but did have water, albeit COLD water. Lost 14 pine trees in the yard, although none hit the house. I had just finished cleaning up the yard from Bertha...

Used to go there at Barnacle Bills as a kid..Me and my wife went not long after Fran to look..It was the last time I saw what was left of the place and pier..Sad

[@jambocoo]

Very sad, we drove down in Dec, that year and the damage was still evident. It was so eerie seeing no sand dunes left, such a shame for our beloved Topsail Island....

[@xisotopex]

I remember even a year later it was bad. that winter huge piles of debris bulldozed into piles everywhere... construction standards have improved since then... I think. however population density over all areas has probably quadrupled since then

jambocoo please explain the missing sand dunes.
