NC is a flooded mess, I-40/I-85 closed by flooding

11. It's a sure mess in my county (Alamance). We have rivers here, and lakes and dams.

I've been looking at pictures of it all and my heart is breaking. Luckily, I think no one dead or injured here, but it could have been way worse. My DIL has been reposting stuff from around the area, I was looking while my mother was in Walmart.

I had to go to Mebane for a doctor appointment (and the Governor was there, somewhere), and things along my route looked okay. I had to take a detour because the usual way I go has a very low-lying area and was flooded. Where I'm at, I'm on higher ground, so other than the rain we were okay. Only had power flickering a few times, better than usual.

I still cry over those children swept away from the campground in Texas. None of that had to happen.
