carolina. there is news this morning apparently about midnight last night a call came in to 911 there about damage to the triangle motor inn out on wilmington highway. and apparently they had to rest rescue 62 people includinincluding pets. basketball size found in one of the rooms and cinder blocks threatening damage to the structure. the problem was at that point there were hurricane force winds and apparently some of the first responders had to force themselves into the room to try to get people out. janice: good lesson from this is we do concentrate on the category a lot. i m guilty of that as well. you know, we had a major category 4 in the atlantic. it s a 1 now and because we don t see those 3, 4s and 5s, we get complacent. but this will cause catastrophic damage regardless. pete: what i m also struck by is the slowness and size.
e. east of us. jacksonville, north carolina. a mile away from the new river here. we are protected by our hotel. the hotel down there triangle motor inn they had breach to the roof maybe about the size of basketball. authorities came, in they said nobody can stay here. it s uninhabitable. they moved them out. about 70 women and children. once a roof gets compromised even if it s the hole the size of a basketball it doesn t take longer before the hole is bigger and bigger and then the whole structure is compromised. i m protected. the hotel is off to the east of me. the winds have switched to the east. so they are right down this road ahead of us. if i just step out here, it s almost like going into out into the gauntlet. i m not going to do that because i have seen debris flashing by the last several manipulates. right when i came in the hotel sign best west inn exploded. dave, my camera guy if you
