More Rain Hits Floyd-Ravaged N.C...09/29/99

GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Six inches of rain fell Tuesday across eastern North Carolina, flooding roads and threatening homes in an area scarcely beginning its recovery from the misery brought by Hurricane Floyd. Swirling brown water again closed streets and highways, and rivers inched higher and threatened two dams. Authorities went door-to-door advising residents they should prepare for possible evacuation. "We're almost back to ground zero," National Guard Maj. Dave Culbreth said in Goldsboro, where downtown streets were under water for the second time this month. As water roared over a dam near his neighborhood in Goldsboro, Dave Colburn proudly recounted how he and his neighbors survived Floyd's floodwaters by helping one another. "But right now, everyone's asking themselves, 'How much can we take?'" he said.
