I just talked with Wilton. He said he continues to have seepage into his basement, though the sump pump has dropped the level in the basement from 5" to 1/4 - 1/2".
They are currently out of hot water. He doesn't know if they will be able to get the burner, which they replaced 2 years ago when the basement flooded to 12 - 15", dried out and working or whether they will have to replace it again. He says their cable TV now works, but he hasn't gotten Internet back yet. He said they had their power blink a couple of times, which caused him great anxiety, but the people across the street, who do have Internet, had power out for a couple of days. I think I'd rather be without Internet and have power than the reverse. The NWS shows the Neuse River near Goldsboro in major flood at 27.3' (flood stage is 18' and major flood stage is 24'). From the current graph, it looks like the flooding has peaked (it was 27.6'); the forecast shows only decreasing levels. See https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=rah&gage=gldn7 and https://water.weather.gov/ahps/region.php?state=nc&fcst_timeframe=0¤t_color=all¤t_type=all&fcst_type=obs&conus_map=d_map¢er_point_lat=35.71083799999635¢er_point_lon=-80.12329099999195&default_zoom=7&marker=false Wilton said the south side of town, a couple of miles away, is most likely flooded. That is apparently typical with the Neuse river being as high as it is. They, however, do not have that problem.
