Tuesday, May 26, 2009
NC Hurricane Awareness Week continues Wednesday 5 / 27 with the topic of inland flooding. Of the 56 people who perished in Hurricane Floyd, 50 died in inland freshwater flooding incidents (and most of those victims were in cars attempting to drive over water-covered roads). Remember: “Turn around, don’t drown!“ when you come upon a water-covered road. Find a safe, alternate route.
