Re: Life-threatening Flash Flooding in Cape Fear, N.C.
there is only so much they can do (except evacuate and secure their properties). Right now, It was said that the problem right now and obviously urgent is that bridges could wash out...They are planning to have school tomorrow, but the busses have to go over those bridges and that they have to be inspected before use after this passes. I think they should postpone reopening schools or else re-route busses (where they can....almost impossible to not have to sue bridges to get around in places) |
