This is the Pee-Dee river today in central North Carolina. Based on the debris, it looks like it crested a couple of feet up that sign, so it has lessened, but it’s still just barely in its banks.

I only saw smaller signs of Hurricane Florence’s impacts today, aside from my client’s dam fo r which I will be developing a repair plan, but I didn’t go too far east. Lots of standing water still in dit ches. Thinking of those still struggling with the aftermath.

In particular, daender, please check in.

* Most* of the issues were confined to the counties bordering North Carolina, and Florence county has a buffer. It’s a flooded buffer.

Florence is fine although we have co-workers in coastal NC and Myrtle Beach who are unable to get here due to roads being flood or being evacuated due to rising flood waters along the inter-coastal waterway.

I appreciate your concern!

I don’t know why, but I had in my mind that you were in Raleigh. Glad that you weren’t impacted.

At my place near Charlotte I have had much more intense storms, and the total rainfall was on the level of a storm that has a 10% likelihood of occurring in any year. Didn’t even lose power, and I had been convinced that I would due to falling trees.

I only lost power for about an hour on Sunday. Where are you at?
