Just a brief check-in from Whiteville, NC. Power is still out and I’m still using my tablet on Verizon. Your pics give a good idea of what’s going on here. Floodwaters are still rising; the Cape Fear, Lumber, Waccamaw and Pee Dee Rivers won’t crest for another couple of days.
Lots of homes and businesses flooded, and trees down everywhere. In addition, farmers will suffer millions of dollars of losses in late-season crops. The news media tend to focus more on cities, businesses, resorts, etc., and people forget about the farmers.
I personally dodged a bullet this time, and had no flooding and only minimal wind damage. Thanks to all my FRiends here for your prayers! You guys are really good! Now if we can only get power back we can start to clean up and rebuild. This doing “internet by candlelight” (in this case literally!) is no fun. Gotta go now and save the batteries. Prayers and God Bless to everyone.
Hope the power companies and their employees get your electricity back on. When you have time, let us know..
