Question: how many miles is charlotte nc from the coast
Short answer: 200 miles ( 320 km ) inland,
Answer: On September 22, 1989, the city took a direct hit from Hurricane Hugo. With sustained winds of 69 mph ( 111 km / h ) and gusts of 87 mph ( 140 km / h ) in some locations, Hugo caused massive property damage, destroyed 80,000 trees, and knocked out electrical power to most of the population. Residents were without power for weeks, schools were closed for a week or more, and the cleanup took months. The city was caught unprepared; Charlotte is 200 miles ( 320 km ) inland, and residents from coastal areas in both Carolinas often wait out hurricanes in Charlotte.
