The Courtyard Marriott in New Bern gets an unusual visitor...
—
It’s the S.S. Minnow!
Seeing reports (via twitter) now about river flooding projections that will exceed levels from Matthew by multiple feet. Lumber River at Lumberton; Cape Fear River at Fayetteville (the latter 3 feet above Matthew and well in ‘major’ flooding category).
Also: Blue Ridge Parkway will be closed today.. guessing “almost all of it”, based on this from the parkway’s official twitter site.
“On September 14, 2018, the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway and all associated facilities, with the exception of the Pisgah Inn and Peaks of Otter Lodge, will be closed at 8:00 p.m. in anticipation of high winds and heavy rains.”
