Floods are hard things to clean up after. I'm back at the beach right now. Many businesses in Manteo, flooded after Hurricane Irene in late August, have not survived. Others want to re-open, but for various reasons the repairs to the buildings haven't been or can't be made.
Very, very tough thing to go through.
Do keep us posted, and take care of yourself.
