Re: Forklift accident
No, the Georgetown mill is not in our company. The mill I'm referring to is in upper SC, about 30 miles south of Charlotte, NC. That's where I worked then.
Hugo carved a swath from north of Charleston SC all the way to the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC. Knocked down trees and closed a large section of the parkway for a while. On the way, the storm kept its "eye" the whole way to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Uncanny, because most hurricanes die (lose structure) as soon as making landfall.
With Hugo, there was a high strong pressure system to the east and a strong high pressure system to the west of land fall, spinning the storm like a top, and steering it inland at the same time... If you can find a radar playback all these years later, it was unreal how long it lived on land.
But anyhow, you can trace my near-death on a lift truck all the way back to that. It's the classic tale of an industrial accident. There's not just one thing, there's this, and then that and than that and then that, and then add one more thing, and there it is.
