Spencer Rogers, UNC Sea Grant's coastal engineering specialist at Ft. Fisher, is surveying the damage to see how property owners can pre- vent problems the next time a hurricane blows North Carolina's way. "New construction and general con- struction practices fared very well," Rogers says. "The most common cause of major structural damage was the failure of a porch roof or overhang. When the porch roof blew off it often damaged the main roof and allowed water inside the ; Rogers estimates that while many structural repairs were not costly, the accompanying water damage often in- creased financial losses considerably. Rogers says that future damage may be prevented by carefully connecting the porch posts supports to the roof and the foundation. Despite damage estimates of more than $70 million, Rogers says Diana was a relatively mild hurricane. The storm surge, a wall of water driven onshore by a hurricane, was minimal, and the hurricane's highest winds were directed offshore. These factors com- bined to reduce damage to buildings, homes, beaches and dunes. But he cautions, coastal residents may not be so lucky next time. That's why Rogers is offering technical assis
