Nor’easter Bearing Down on Eastern North Carolina, Revised - November 27, 2013 | Eastern North Carolina Now

News release: (Afternoon 112613)

    Good Morning:

    So far, So Good! I have attached this morning’s weather update on the Nor’easter moving through our area. We have some reported trees across the roads and some standing water. We have wind gust overnight as high as 55mph, but we currently have no reports of structure damage from within Beaufort County.

    We should continue to use caution when traveling as we could receive another one-half inch of rain and many culverts are plugged or flow is reduced and standing water can cause hydroplaning in vehicles. Remember the berm of the road is saturated at this point so use caution if you drift onto a grass berm in your travels as overcorrecting is a possibility which could result in rollovers.

    Remember your outdoor pets could be wet and when the wind chill values get down into the twenties they could suffer from hypothermia and perish.

    Safe travels on this Thanksgiving! May God Bless each of you and your families on this truly American Holiday. Please include our troops in your prayers, as they ensure we can enjoy our Thanksgiving by keeping freedom alive.
