I just looked at a topo map. Those streets are at the five foot and under elevation. Most of FFH is under the ten foot elevation, except oddly much of the golf course. Guess we have to keep the greens dry. based on your report I definitely must have water under the condo unit. Good thing it's about nine feet up on stilts.
Everything on our side receded and looking at a week of sun according to the weather people.The old clybhouse is where people take their cars if afraid of severe flooding.If we would have gotten that hurricane the entire community would be under water and plenty of damage because it has been so wet.The main issue has been the wind blowing the water back up in the rivers .It couldn't drain into the ocean
I assume things are back to normal now.
The report I got on our condo building was that the water came up Harbourside DR. as far as our mail boxes and the water came up from the marina side as far as the lamp posts. So that would mean it would have had to come up another foot or two to get to the building piles. And another nine feet to get up to our unit above the piles. No loss of utility services.
I do have to get myself on the POA email list. My understanding is the POA was putting out updates on the flood status.
For those who are not long term resident/property owners in Fairfield Harbour you should keep this latest water rise in perspective. The water level rose 4.5 feet this time and 8.5 feet during Irene. This recent experience was a walk in the park. The further east you go from I-95 in this part of NC the more beautiful the state becomes and the price you pay is a little extra rain and wind occasionally.
A clarification concerning the draw bridge. The problem is the elevation of the approach on the New Bern side, right next to Union Point Park. The bridge closes to traffic due to flooding at this approach during high water events. The bridge itself never comes close to being under water.
