In Exeter, our only threat is severe flooding. The image you see here is the extent of the damage that could be done, the image is not real. In 1960, the river overflowed and 100 people were killed. The next image you see shows the areas flooded. My house is shown in red. Only the main roads are shown on the map

Did that hurricane (tropical) happen to be....Irene? I live on the lower coast of North Carolina. My family lost power for 42 hours. We were one of the only three houses in a four street radius without power, so we were bottom priority. We didn't flood during Irene. But for other hurricanes, our area has flooded.

Seriously? Whoa In 2010, the US suffered a drought. In September and October, it heavily raine on the East Coast, ending the drought, but flooding creeks, rivers, lakes. Several people died. A state of emergency was declared for my county and many others in North Carolina and up and down the East Coast. It didn't flood too badly in my small town- our lakes were quite low before the rain due to drought, so they filled up to normal before they spilled over, and even then the lake I live by only came halfway up our backyard. The pond acids the street flooded my street with a blanket of water not even a centimeter thick
