    Publisher's note: The following posts will be from the Eastern NC NOW staff, in sequence, regarding the Tropical Storm Ian.

Press Release:

    All,

    Please note the updates below.

    Storm Surge

    We have been communicating with the National Weather Service regarding the storm surge values along the Pamlico River. We are currently experiencing 3 +/- feet. The NWS is now expecting the Pamlico to peak between 4 1/2 and 5'. Water levels are forecasted to continue to rise quickly through the 3 - 6pm timeframe. Those levels are expected to remain through midnight tonight, before very slowly rescinding through sunrise Saturday morning.

    This updated surge forecast will most likely result in minor inundation of some of our known low lying roads, especially those along and adjacent to the shoreline areas west of Broad Creek / Chocowinity Bay. Please avoid driving through standing water.

    Winds

    Our highest winds are expected to occur between now and 10pm tonight, with frequent gust of 35+ mph likely.

    Please share pictures of any storm related damage / flooding with us at https://www.facebook.com/bcemergencymanagement/

    As always, thank you all for what you do to keep Beaufort County informed, prepared and safe.

Beaufort County Commissioners Requested to Show Resolve for Oversight and Due Process to Protect Children and Families

Government and its bureaucracy are not perfect, and never has been in this self-governed society, here at the local level, at our state level, and at our federal level, therefore, it is incumbent upon all elected politicians to seek a comfortable level of representation for our constituents.
