Need information on river flooding


Paa Langfart

Recommended Posts

I am trying to find the same info with very little success. Planning on heading to the NC coast to help my dad with cleanup and repairs. He lives in Straits, overlooking Harkers Island and Cape Lookout. I've got to drive from SC and am worried if I leave too late HWY 70 will be closed in Kinston. Below are some links I have found:

First time post so cut me some slack.

There are several methods to find out that info first use NCready app, you can find it on play store etc it has road closures etc.

Also the most up to date information would more than likely be the county EOC ( emergency operations centers) of the area your traveling though. Web search should find it.

70 though Kinston could very possibly be closed. If you have to go through Craven County be advised many roads in the the northern part have portions that are flooded and closed.

Lastly remember turn around don't drown. If there is water on a road it is extremely dangerous to try to go though it.

I hope this helps.

That is some very very low land up there bro.  Don't get yourself into a jam cause I can't imagine any roads not flooded up there on that peninsula.

Thanks for the heads-up. My brother made it today with no issues. Said that the biggest worry is the Neuse River Bridge in Kinston. Flood waters are expected to continue to rise and the bridge may end up being closed. The rest of the trip from there has no potential issues. Was actually kind of hoping to use my truck for what it was designed though (within reason).

    • That's also in an era when DBs could press for 10 yards, Qbs could be hit, QBs could have players land on them, incidental contact could be made with the head etc. You can't compare bryce to players like this. What you can do is say who's done less over their first 30 starts and had more resources dedicated to them and at that point you're looking at like Joey Harrington.  At least with Joey there weren't morons in the fan base falling over themselves to compare him to players from the first year of the NFL merger. 
    • Brees had a pro bowl year in year 3. Phillip Rivers was drafted anyways and Brees went off for two more years before his shoulder was completely torn up in the last game of the 2006 season. 
    • The last time this franchise was in this much despair pre Tepper, the rumors of the banner flyover were met by the front office. They quickly worked with the disgruntled fans to quell any potential negative event occurring at the Stadium or TV. The real question is do we even have enough fans that care to get together behind a movement like this again or is our fan base too far gone that we dont care to revolt like this? Personally, I still go to games each year no matter how terrible it is, but it has went from something I spent all week looking forward to almost as enjoyable as yearly physical. We can count the blunders this franchise has made in keeping Head Coaches, General Managers and players too long. (Rivera,Rhule, Hurney, Fitterrer). Team wise we've missed out on Herbert, we didnt trade Burns for 2 1st round picks, we reached by taking Bryce who would have most likely been were we were going to draft anyway, and extended players who constantly underperformed like Ian Thomas. Even when we are gifted a chance like 2 first for Burns that we shouldnt have paid premium, we fumbled a chance to really jump start the franchise. So this is more to everyone as a whole. How much of your Soul for this team is left? Is it still there that if there was a glimmer of hope, you'd come right back or has the futility of this team negated your love for football completely?
