A friend says the Tar River won't crest at Greenville until Thursday:
Bands of heavy rain are leading to record-breaking flooding in parts of eastern North Carolina, according to the National Hurricane Center, which may result in life-threatening flooding and flash flooding elsewhere in the region. Forecasters warned that areas along the Neuse River in Goldsboro, N.C., could experience flooding worse than the devastating inundation that followed Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The river was projected to hit 30.9 feet around 2 a.m. on Monday, surpassing the record of 28.9 feet caused by Floyd.
