Why would anyone risk their child? Just dumb selfish people everywhere

My dad's house is in Bolivia, NC. Luckily, he and his wife are in Europe for a pre-planned vacation. But from everything I have seen, they may not have a liveable home to come back to. He lives on a golf course with a huge pond right by the tee box in his back yard, and the Lockwood Folly River is less than a half mile from his place.

Unreal pics and video coming from all of this.

Sounds like being at the wrong place at the wrong time...so sad!

Just a horrifying story.

I've lived here in Bolivia for 40 years, and I've never seen flooding like this before. No damage to my house but a number of pine trees and maples down into my yard, half my elm tree is gone, and I had to stand my persimmon tree back up with 2x4s. I did lose one shingle tab, but I can't tell from where.

Almost lost my pumphouse, a huge pine fell, but got caught on another tree 6 feet above the pumphouse. Once the ground dries up enough, my neighbor is going to come over with his front end loader (great part of rural living, you never know what heavy equipment your neighbor's have) and pull it down away from the building.

I've had power back since Saturday, and internet back an hour ago. Don't know when I'll be getting back to work, because Wilmington is a MESS.
