I see you have been posting. I was just wondering if you were in the flood area. Apparently you are OK?
Who else is in NC?

From the Members' Map, it appears we don't have any members very near the coastline. Did you still see a lot of rain from the storm though, @majorcatfish ?

no major flooding here, we did get 4.71" last saturday.
was watching the news last night all that water is still makings it's way down to the ocean many rivers are well passed flood stage.
they said there has been 11 deaths so far, untold property and crop damage, whole poultry and hog farms under water.
this was a bad storm reminds me of floyd back in 99....
prayers go out to everyone affected out there....

Those poor folks down there! The damage seems to be comparable to Katrina, but just spread out further.

I have cousins down in Hope Mills. They had no flood damage, although many others there did. Their power has been out.
