North Carolina still in recovery
mode from Hurricane Florence
News about environmental events are
justifiably focused on the fire disasters
in California right now. Closer to home,
though, towns near the North Carolina
coast still aren’t finished with Hurricane
Florence.
As Florence approached the shoreline,
it became clear by Sept. 11 that her target
would be Cape Fear. That’s the
triangular area where the Cape
Fear River meets the ocean near
Southport. Close by are popular
beach towns like Kure (pro
nounced like “curry”) Beach,
Carolina Beach, and the Fort
Fisher National Historic Site.
Above Wilmington, the Northeast
Cape Fear River joins the Cape
Fear. East of the city, Wrights-
ville Beach is a barrier island
filled with homes, condos and
hotels.
On Sept. 14, Florence hit Wrightsville
Beach dead-on. The storm’s path was similar
to 1996 hurricane Fran. Living in Wilmington
at that time, we sat through it, listening to 115
mph winds pounding the house and watch
ing flying trees through slots I had made in
the plywood boards protecting the windows.
Pine cones were hitting the ground like can
nonballs, penetrating a foot deep.
But Fran didn’t cause the major flooding
that hurricane Floyd later brought to the
state’s coastal plain in 1999. This year, Flor
ence repeated Floyd’s pattern with extreme
rain and a storm surge driving water up the
Northeast Cape Fear River.
North of Wilmington, some areas in
Pender County are particularly vulnerable.
The town of Burgaw, elevation 48 feet, isn’t
near the ocean. But neighborhoods next to
the Northeast Cape Fear took the brunt of
the river’s floodwaters.
River Bend Subdivision, sandwiched
between the Holly Shelter Swamp and the
Angola Swamp, was known to
be flood prone ever since it first
sat under water in August 1992.
After Florence, local media
reported that even raised houses,
built on stilts 4 feet above the
ground, were flooded 5 feet up
the first floor.
Nearby, Holland’s Shelter
Creek Restaurant was a famous
landmark. The structure sat on
the creek’s bank and partly over
the water until Florence’s enor
mous flood waves ripped it off its founda
tion and destroyed it.
Now, in November, people are still clear
ing out debris from devastated homes.
Residents of Burgaw and its surroundings
in Pender County continue to be dependent
on volunteer help and donations. The Wilm
ington Star-News quoted a resident saying
“don’t ask someone what they need — we
have nothing. Take them a casserole.”
Rudi Kiefer, Ph.D., is a professor at
Brenau University, teaching physical and
health sciences on Brenau’s Georgia cam
puses and in China. His column appears

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
There is nothing to hurry to or
from. Don’t be pushed around
by the bully of space-time. A
few moments will not make a
difference, except in the feel
ing you carry around with you.
Relax.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An
thropomorphizing animals has
been commonplace through
out human history, though
you’ll find it spiritually energiz
ing to honor the animal-ness
of animals and to regard your
own animal-ness as equally
worthy of respect.
GEMINI (May 21-June21). Two
emotional ingredients that
pair well together are honesty
and gentleness. Blunt honesty
can cause trauma worse than
many lies. And if you get into a
position where you’re really not
sure, silence is often the genius
move.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’re back to wondering
how you might improve your
life. Hint: There’s no purchase
involved. That tip alone should
eliminate a lot of the noise
around your development.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What
ever you are curious about,
get deeper into it. Go ahead
and tackle the big questions.
There’s much good that comes
of asking how things might
be accomplished, especially
seemingly impossible things.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). They
needed a leader, and everyone
pointed to you. Wonder why
it’s you again? It’s because you
communicate like a true leader,
which is to say you listen more
than you talk.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Emo
tional weather becomes sunny
when a front of enthusiasm
meets a jet stream of laughter.
Bonus: Because you’re there
when the positive feelings are
flowing, the glow of sunny
skies will always be associated
with you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
The plans go out the window
because the intuitive whims
lead you in an entirely different
and more fortuitous direction.
Being flexible opens you to fe
licity. On a side note: Someone
is falling in love with your smile.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). The difference between
tools and weapons is intent of
usage. Circumstances arise,
and there’s a judgment call
to make. It could go a lot of
ways. It’s your choice, really:
defense, offense, creation,
reparation ...
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
While surrounded by half-
asleep people, you have ideas
about what should happen
next, what you’d like to see,
make, do. Once you give your
motivational jump-start, every
one will wake up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You speak from your heart
and tell the truth, which makes
it easy to keep track. Those
who can’t seem to manage
this ease are either moving so
quickly through life it’s hard to
remember it all or lying.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You may get the sense that
whatever the group is doing,
it’s not for you. Heed your need
for independence. There’s
something you’ll discover all
on your own.
