The worst hurricane in memory to hit the south- eastern part of the North Carolina coast was 
Hurricane Hazel in 1954. This storm destroyed every building on three islands. Apparently, the 
disaster didn't occupy people's minds for long, as in the decades that followed, beach houses sprang 
up everywhere, most of which were built by people who had never experienced a major storm. By the 
time Hurricane Fran struck in 1996, so dense was the development that a storm weaker than Hazel 
inflicted much greater damage. A man who had his newly renovated beach front home commented 
that he had had no idea that a storm could simply sweep his house away.

B) mostly built by newcomers to the area 
C) better built than the earlier ones 
D) mostly destroyed by Hurricane Hazel 
E) able to withstand more powerful storms due to new building technology
