9. Strangely enough, Georgia's concave coastline sometimes deflects hurricanes

Also, Georgia never drained or filled in its marshes, so the power of tropical storms is somewhat diminished. There was at least one benefit of being the poorest state after the end of the Civil War. Having said that, I live in north Georgia and have lots of relatives in the "2PM Mon" circle. I pray that the monster will deflect eastward and dissipate in the Atlantic harmlessly.
