You can get to it from the end of the museum parking lot. Just a nice path along the Mississippi. You can see Wi and IL from there. The bridge right behind the museum takes you to Illinois. The far off bridge goes to Wisconsin.
 
After spending a week in Miami Beach, this humidity here is dry. Lol. Down there It's like a suffocating wet blanket that permanently surrounds you, and suffocates you. I was showering 3 and 4 times a day because it is sooo sticky.

Curious, have you ever actually felt an ocean breeze? It's not as refreshing as you might think, the film it leaves on everything is so delightful...

It makes a huge difference.

True, we're (I'm) kinda talking about 2 different things I guess. An ocean breeze off a much cooler ocean will cool the temps but honestly it's nothing compared to the dry cool air behind a legit cold front. To me being on the beach, the breeze is cooler but it's stickier

Yeah , well I’ll always have December 2010 . Best snowfall of my life , and February 2005 or 04 can’t remember off top of my head . I was living in Charlotte at the time and I remember it to this day sledding down the hill in my backyard and dancing up and down as it snowed with my face plastered on the glass sliding door . We actually got that storm on VHS tape lol. I was going nuts .

Matthew was a decent hurricane here . I just need a good major cane that’s all. Give me hazel !

It’s happened twice . Fran and hazel . Both had hurricane conditions inland . Avg return period was for major canes . So if a major cane hits Wilmington and rides inland good chance we can get hurricane gusts , even sustained as was the case with Hazel. Hazel managed 2 minute SUSTAINED winds of 78 mph all the way at RDU on top of 90+ gusts with a gust to 110 in Fayetteville and 120s across Goldsboro and Kinston. Don’t doubt me !
 
I wish we knew more about hurricanes from the early 1800s and 1700s . From descriptions of storms that struck the area there seemed to be some pretty nasty ones . Wind speed and rainfall data would be epic .
