First let me say that people had/have it WAYYY worse through this storm than I did. No one in my family was hurt and we didn't suffer any damage to our homes or cars. Luckily the wind damage was minimal since Florence down graded to a CAT 1 by the time she made landfall. The eye made landfall over Wilmington, which you can see near the bottom. We were without power for 5 days. The effects from flooding are still being felt in my town and surrounding areas. Here is where I live in eastern NC. Just outside of Kinston in Lenoir County.
Around 11am on Friday. It has been raining since 5 or 6pm Thursday night at this point. Things aren't looking too bad. This is typical water level of a few rainy days.
You'll see this background a lot. It's out my front door.
2:30pm Friday. The water is getting higher but not terrible
6:11pm on Friday. The water is starting to get higher. The next few pictures are 20 minutes apart.
6:31pm um, this doesn't look good.
6:50pm. Water please stop doing this.
