As a retired Community Association Manager for almost 20 years I call that job security 😉
Most of the Florida peninsula is a big warm swamp. That sort of "land" doesn't weaken a hurricane much.
I believe this post got lost amidst the conversation about central North Carolina hurricanes....
For whatever reason, you don’t realize that hurricane or tropical storm events wreak havoc hundreds of miles inland. My county in the WNC mountains has suffered massive damage multiple times in just the last 20 plus years.
Human casualties and millions of $ in damages.
Meanwhile, you call out how big you are about withstanding storms like some hero, suggesting that other areas are not as “tough” as tradville is vs. big weather.
Shush, child.

"Remnants" of a hurricane can still produce dangerous winds, torrential rains, tornados, and other bad weather, but that's nothing compared to an actual major hurricane event, which simply DOES NOT HAPPEN in central or western NC. As already hashed through in this thread, even Hugo was barely packing hurricane-force winds in Charlotte. Not the same thing as Charleston experienced AT ALL.
It's their neighborhood and I guess I'm fine with them making whatever rules they want and if you are buying into the neighborhood you know what you are getting into.
I would find it bullshit if someone that already lives there and is forced to comply which I'm sure they will be.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Thirty-two years ago, a Category 4 Hurricane ravaged the Carolinas.
On Sept. 22, 1989, Hurricane Hugo made landfall, and caused destruction along the East Coast, and even caused catastrophic damage in the Charlotte area.
Hugo made landfall near Charleston, South Carolina, and it reached Charlotte about five hours later.

You have no idea how 20”+ rain events impact steep mountain areas. Stick to coastal Florida terrain when discussing hurricane related impacts.CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Thirty-two years ago, a Category 4 Hurricane ravaged the Carolinas.

Pretty sure no communities force you to play pickleball or drink margaritas.
You missed the whole thread I discussed this. If you did, you’d understand where I would or would not fly the flag. It’s all about self preservation and has everything to do with other’s politics vs. my own.
You are the dumbest MF who thinks he knows about hurricane impacts on high elevation steep terrain.
Stick to reports from the Raleigh nursing home, Ace.
Find the thread. It’s too long to repeat again. There’s a search button.
Have you ever stood in the eye of a major hurricane?
I have.
Don't want to do that again.
I won't, because I don't care. There's no reason to confront the American flag. Ever.
You don’t care but you asked to “tell more?” Weird.
Praise you great patriot.
I have as well. Does that change your posts in this thread?
You are a deflection queen.
Are you one of those people that needs a “thank you for your service” to feel good about yourself?
It's not a hurricane when it reaches high elevation and steep terrain in North Carolina. It's remnants at that point. And those sorts of impacts could happen with all sorts of different kinds of weather systems.
Look doofus, this whole stupid conversation was started by someone asking if they were allowed to take the flags down when a storm is approaching.
I don't take my flag down unless a hurricane is approaching. Thunderstorms with torrential rain and gale-force winds can happen any day in the summer here at Tradition Manor.
If I was worried about general storms, I would never have my flag out in the summer at all, which would violate this association's rules.
