Results from the storm

Haven't been able to read the boards to see if this has made it up but there is basically catastrophic flooding from the storm in Pamlico, Craven, and Carteret Counties. The national guard is currently trying to rescue about 100 people near Harlow that are stranded and at least 40 homes in the area are either flooded, destroyed, or gone. Pamlico doesn't sound much better. In Carteret you really can't get to the eastern half of the county at the moment because of the water. In Atlantic there are currently 200 homes surrounded by water and rescue efforts are ongoing. Evidently the water is so high that the sub division on the other side of the highway where I live has been flooded by North River. Its only supposed to get worse tommorow because the waters not going anywhere. Just wanted to update you all because it didn't seem to make the national news.

Are you near the coast? (Sorry, don't know Virginia geography). Hope you stay safe - you'll be included in our prayers seahawkjd.

TWC reported people being rescued from their homes or riding out in Seadoos in Pamlico. Other than that, I haven't heard any of the other information you have given. I imagine as the night wears on we'll hear more and more of these horror stories. Stay safe.

Oh man, that is terrible. I feel for everyone so badly affected by Isabel. Thanks for updating us though. I'll keep everyone over there in my prayers.
