Would Greenville NC be considered by a home insurance company to be a HIGH RISK hurricane area?

The place got ripped up badly and flooded in 1999's hurricane Floyd but I understand that to have been a rare occurrence of 2 hurricanes back to back. Just wondering if I would want to invest there, and whether flood insurance would be highly recommended.

Although it's rare to have 2 hurricanes back to back, even 1 hurricane in the last decade would tell me yes, get flood insurance. Also, just call a homeowners agent to check on whether it's in an identified flood plain. They might look that up for you for free.
