Reports are coming in of catastrophic flooding on Ocracoke Island. Sheriff Cahoon along with Emergency Management has decided to send 3 mainland deputies, 2 medics, NC Wildlife, and Marine Patrol assets to Ocracoke Island to assist.
Ocracokers are reporting that this is the highest tide anyone on the island has ever seen. Many homes with 2 feet of water in them. Lots of flooded cars. The good news is that we haven’t heard any reports of people being hurt. We will be fine eventually. It’s just stuff, and speaking only for myself, I had too much stuff anyway.
Catastrophic flooding is what happened to Abacos in the Bahamas. This is just flooding. Sucks but its already receding and they will be fine in a couple days.
ReplyDeleteLive on a island and you will get wet.

Northwest Woodsman: Why is it that people build or reside in areas like ancient river beds, low laying coastal zones, areas of volcanic activity, earthquake zones, and under airport landing and departure zones then complain when disaster strikes? Then they complain if taxpayers don’t do enough to remediate the problem they caused or should have considered in the first place?
