I sent a larger Floyd Trip report late last night.  T'ain't seen it this
morning.  I hope I sent it to the list!  8-)

I'm in Cary, North Carolina which is in the Durham, Raleigh area in the central
part of the state.  We got lucky and Floyd just swiped us as he devestated the
eastern part of the state.  There is and will be more major flooding in the
eastern part of the state.  US70 and US64 are major east west roads.  Both are
flooded down east.  I95 is still flooded.  I40 is also flooded.  Wilmington is
completely cut off.  Most of the major flooding is going to happen over the next
couple of days.

Everyone is lucky that Floyd did not hit the coast until it had weakened.  I was
very afraid that Floyd was going to hit Florida.  That would have been much,
much worse than what is going on here....

ThankfulDan.
