Wow that looks pretty bad NCHurricane. Is your house safely above the flood waters? Does it look like a lot of places will be flooded from the rising waters? Unfortunately looks like a few more inches could fall across Eastern NC today during the heating of the day if the HRRR is right.
I actually live about 20 minutes south between Williamston and Washington. The river got up to 15', which was only three feet below 1999 with Floyd. Probably 1/2 to 3/4 of the businesses in town were flooded for a third time. I haven't heard much from the outlying areas, but there are a few places outside of Windsor along the river that surely got flooded.
The town actually in July had just completed the first of several planned rental tree houses along the river just south of town. Someone posted a video today and I took a screenshot of that and compared it to a video that WRAL did back in July for comparison.
The river has crested and lucky today's rains stayed south of the headwaters.

Nice pics Steve, where was that taken at? Good news is the flood waters in Windsor are finally receding.. the damage has already been done unfortunately. I'm concerned about early October since the Euro hints at a cutoff low that could dump a lot of rain and then a few days later the models all indicate a big GOM storm that rides up a front and would drop a ton of rain across the SE if that verified.

I was looking at that GOM system today. Not liking what I'm seeing get as far as eastern NC is concerned. Raleigh west could use the rain. Lot of time for changes, but all the major models are fairly amped about the system at this time.

I'm concerned about it as well mainly for the flooding potential it could bring to Eastern NC, especially hard hit areas like Windsor. With a strong trough approaching the East Coast combined with a possible strong tropical system in the Gulf all that moisture will feed into the trough and provide heavy rains well ahead of the actual system. Then if the system actually rides up the coast or over Central/Eastern NC it could cause some flooding issues.
