This is so sad. Two horses standing on a porch with two miles of water surrounding them. Today they are still there but being fed.

North Carolina residents file lawsuit against CSX, blames company for massive flooding

The lawsuit alleges that CSX knew that their underpass was a point of vulnerability for major flooding, ignored reports warning for the need of a permanent floodgate, and refused city officials' pleas for permission to build a temporary sandbag barrier to protect against the flooding Florence was expected to bring.

Tensions are really running high in my neighborhood. Stoney Creek has made the news every single day as the hardest hit devastated neighborhood. Now there is talk that the area will likely be declared uninhabitable and a forced buy out on the homes here. I'm so anxious and stressed.

What would this mean for your home, lonetraveler? Isn't your home OK? I do not even know what to say. I honestly cannot imagine the depth of the destruction and stress for everyone. I can to a point, but never having seen anything like this, let alone live in it's path, is really beyond my ability. I am so sorry you have to deal with such anxieties.

HUGS TO YOU!!!! Rebuilding is so hard. I know the fight, breaking your back ripping out flooring and tearing out walls and insulation basically taking a house down to studs, throwing out what was good furniture, needing new appliances, etc. Spending money to eat out because there are no utilities nor enough money to restock the entire fridge. It's so hard trying to continue to balance life on top of all this. It's been a 6 year struggle here and I'm still not home so I understand.

I'm assuming the town of Stoney Creek was flooded and none of the homes have flood insurance because it was not designated as a flood zone. What did the people in Harvey do, I'm sure they weren't in a flood zone either?

Is anyone helping you? Did you file a FEMA claim?

I read a story about Stoney Creek today: Devastated by floods, Stoney Creek residents seek answers - News - Wilmington Star News - Wilmington, NC

FEMA is coming in tomorrow to do an assessment to determine the estimated value of the repairs to the value of the home to determine if it will be repaired or not.

I can't even find the words to comment on this. I just have tears. Unbelievably callous.
