SENC Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 SHILOH, N.C. (AP) — Heavy rainfall in North Carolina has diversified the farm of one family, who found fish flopping in between their rows of soybeans.The Observer reports a video posted on Facebook by Pasquotank County officials shows foot-long fish swimming through the rows of soybeans. The video was filmed by Carolyn Jennings on Tuesday afternoon, and has been viewed around 76,000 times. The state has seen record-breaking rain in July, particularly around coastal areas that measured nearly a foot of rain since July 20. More than 16 inches of rain have been recorded this month at Cape Hatteras by the National Weather Service, breaking a 1949 record. Flooding from runoff has enabled fish to leave their native creeks and lakes. One family caught several off their back porch in Manteo. **Tailing Red Drum Folks! ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 So much hype here for Hurricane Hector. This happens everytime. It’s clear it won’t hit us unless we get some dramatic northward shift, but all the news channels are hyping up a hurricane hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But has kept the temps in lower 90's at worst..a lot better than 100. One of the wettest summer's ever in NW SC! Hope that bodes well for winter and weather bell experts nail their forecast.

It was a horrible day weather wise. They were calling for 2 to 4 but we ended up 4 to 6 with occasional 8 footers. Beat the hell out of us because it wasn't like we had swells we had slop. Big mounds of water with no real organized swell. In total 73 people got onboard and at one point on my side of the boat there were only 6 people fishing. I didn't get seasick but my dad did for his first time ever and he had been out numerous times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Check this site out. Look at the average yearly snow for Raleigh and Durham. https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/North-Carolina/annual-snowfall.php Then Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_North_Carolina The National Weather Service in their official annual report list Raleigh with an average of 6.1" (as of this past January 1st). That's closer to Wikipedia, but still different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when we crested a wave we would see several other boats. The next time nothing but empty ocean. We had all paid for a full day. Some wanted to go back in. The captain said, no refunds, the vote must be unanimous and that it had never happened in his 27 years as captain. We were at the dock at lunchtime. The guys that weren't pasty white were the exact color of the Grinch. That night when I went to bed, I had to keep one foot on the floor to stop the bed from pitching up and down.

You guys doing ok? So-so. Had a rough week last week. Boarded our dogs at the vet for a week a the beach and they lost my wife's little Chihuahua. Then they didn't notify us for 24 hours. Using Facebook my daughters knew in 1 hour where he had been the night before. He was last seen going down the ramp to I85. A few minutes later my eldest daughter, who had stayed home, got a call telling her the 5lb dog was on the center island of I85. She raced over there and sure enough there he was. When she stopped the car and got out and called him he freaked out and ran onto the highway and was killed right in front of her. They fired the kid that lost him but the vet made the decision not to notify us until the next day. IMO that is what killed him. We would have gotten him easily the day before from all the sightings reported on Facebook. He was killed about 2 miles from the Vet and quarter mile from our house.
