Carolina Beach, NC, September 18, 1999 -- (L-R) Chiaki Ito and her husband, Daniel Norris stand in front of their "wedding home," land that was given to them as a wedding present. Hurricane Fran visited them with extensive flooding in 1996, even though they were 4 feet above ground level. In order to avoid being flooded again, they elevated another 10 feet, adding hurricane strapping and other preventative measures to mitigate their situation. $90,000 later, with lots of improvements, their house suffered vitually no loss at ground-zero for Hurricane Floyd aside from tools and other possesions that were left too low.
