Re: Is the Georgia coast a dead zone for direct hurricane hits?

In the early 1800's a hurricane came through what is now McIntosh County. There are historical ruins near the town of Ridgeway which is just northeast of Darien. I think because this area is actualy set westward from the rest of the southern coast is why Brunswick and the surrounding areas do not get direct hits from the Atlantic hurricanes. But we here at the GA coast firmly believe when one comes in, it will be from the back door. (Gulf storms).
