Just please get The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore out of Lumberton, N.C.

Seriously, he has been standing on the same street for 8 hours filming evacuees getting boat rides out of a motel.

Where is the coverage from other affected areas i.e. SC, GA and FL????

Prayers for the families of the 16 who lost their lives.

He’s where he is for now. Not easy to get to the other places with flooding and storm damage right now. The flood waters from local rain will recede soon enough, but then comes the rivers and creeks cresting from rain upstream. There’s a reason most decent residential construction down there has a raised foundation. If they’re smart they’ll raise their parking areas too, to spare their vehicles. On the Outer Banks, at Ocracoke and Hatteras Village, locals will build makeshift ramps with planks and cinderblocks when a storm’s coming, to elevate their vehicles above the floodwater.
