I have a dear friend here in KY that has an aunt in a nursing home there that she has not yet heard from, and we're seeing so much in the news about people having difficulty just getting basic supplies and gasoline.

Never occurred to me before about Wilmington being on a peninsula due to the Cape Fear River. Those low country highways are highly vulnerable to flooding, with so much water draining down from up-state.

Let's hope supplies can be hauled in for them very soon, but we have to remember that the entire eastern half of NC will have pressing needs as well. So, someone has to set priorities.

To everyone in the flood zone.......
