“You learn how to deal with weather out on a boat. I learned from my daddy before we had satellites.” Skippy Winner, a retired sea captain, has stayed put for every storm in Carolina Beach since Hurricane Hazel leveled much of the barrier island town in 1954. “I’m gonna be just fine, so let ’er blow,” the 84-year-old said yesterday. There’s a stubborn breed of hurricane holdouts who routinely aggravate and ignore emergency officials. “We know a lot of our coastal residents have ridden out storms before,” @nc_governor Roy Cooper said yesterday. “This should not be one of those storms.” But Skippy regards certain officials with the same contempt he holds for weather forecasts. “Hell, it’s the ones who don’t know what they’re doing that cause the problems,” he said of holdouts. “People like me and some of these other old-timers know what the hell we’re doing.” He learned to ride out a hurricane from his grandfather and his father, who built his home in the late 1940s. It’s made of cinder block and cement, with a 2-inch-thick front door insulated with horsehair. Inside, Skippy has a supply of prescription medicine, bottled water, batteries and candles. Home-cooked meals, prepared by his daughter, are in his refrigerator. And a diesel generator’s hooked up on the cement porch, along with a supply of fuel. “If everything goes bad and something happens to me,” he said yesterday, when @victorblue took this photo, “well, they just aren’t going to get to me, are they?”
