Tropical Storm Debby | Update From North Carolina

in hive-185836 •  4 months ago 

I went to East Carolina University and the name Floyd seems like it is probably the right one. When we were finally told that we had to evacuate our apartments the water level was already almost completely above the first floor apartments below my own. When we returned weeks later we could see that the water had risen about 4 feet into the apartments on the 2nd floor. All the buildings were deemed unlivable and I was kind of shocked that the owners were somehow able to salvage some of the structure's wood. All the interiors had to be completely redone obviously. Crazy times that was.

Oh yes, quite crazy! I was living about an hour and 45 minutes west, near Raleigh. It completely wrecked us that far inland, so I can just about imagine it was hell at ECU. By the way, my oldest daughter and niece graduated from ECU as well. 👍

It's a great part of North Carolina. That was a long time ago though, I bet Greenville looks nothing like what I remember it being like now though. I don't see myself heading back there again ever though. It's so far away and I have no family there anymore.
