Oh, and I want to say a Big Thank you To the Department Of Transportation in NC for doing such a Phenomenal job and getting our roads back to near as normal as possible in such a timely manner, from me, Angie from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now. ❤️😭❤️🤗❤️😭❤️
I still remember. My ex husband worked for Ryder Integrated Logistics, and it took him 7.5 to 8 or more hours to get from Tarboro to Raleigh. Even some of the cell phones didn't work due to cell towers being compromised. We had to stay home for more than 3 weeks, due to trees in the roadways, and holes that blocked traffic both ways, so you Had to stay home. I still to this day believe the number of deaths were Way more than they stated, due to some of the 18 wheelers were full of people that drowned, the Tarboro hospital morgue was full, there were Refer trucks on Anaconda Road, full of people that were drowned they had to keep cold. It was like you were on an island with No way out... President Bill Clinton came and visited us in Tarboro, and had a long heart to heart talk and said if there's Anything that we can do for you, just ask. St. James Street was a Complete disaster, due to the creek coming from the Tar River had flooded that part of town, and you couldn't get to Main Street that way. Also, East Tarboro was Almost completely flooded. We had roads in Edgecombe County that had holes that you had to Find a way to Get to Tarboro to get water, ice, food, and try to locate your family. No electricity for over a month. So yes, That was a Very hard time. There are More things that happened, there were bad smells coming from the Tar River, due to the dead in caskets floating, the dead livestock floating, and some people as well, All floating in the Tar River in Tarboro. If Anyone wants to know how it is to live through a flood, just ask. I'll tell you, even if I still cry about it...
I was only 7 during Floyd but remember it like it was yesterday. The water woke us at night while in bed, it had seeped through the doors and windows and when we woke, it was knee deep for me at the time but once we gathered to the front door trying to open it....the pressure was so great it took some time to finally get it open working against the strength of the water. We opened the door and the water came pouring in so fast it almost knocked my mom's balance off....we made it out the door and the water came to the adults chest and we had to get on their backs while they walked across the street to high grounds .... A current of some sort something like a pull came and my mom's so lost grip of my 5 yr old sister and she went under for a few seconds but he was able to reach down and thankfully pull her up and back onto his back....I always wonder about the experience of others with this storm even with all these years that have passed I can never forget hurricane Floyd and the impact and change it made to so many lives. The old street I lived on no longer exists just the markings from the driveways and the big trees that sat in the yards and provided shade, and fun times with friends and family. I hope all is well, didn't mean for the long post 😊
May I ask if the Agency has maintained records as to the 'callouts' I participated in as a member of the Emergency Management Response Team of the Adult Probation Parole Agency 1999-2012? I had assumed that the tremendous effort our Agency put forth would be recorded and maintained to show our efforts. I am not asking for my individual callouts, just the list of locations and dates of the callouts. My daughters recently became curious about the Teams activities, thank you.
