Any DUers at Camp Lejeune?

I lived on base beside the river in the two-story quarters in the early 80s. I've been thinking that the flooding there would be bad, and I'm hoping people did evacuate. The last news I heard about it, the base wasn't evacuated, and it's getting a real pounding.

New Bern, which is just upstream was flooding last night and the river hadn't crested yet.

It’s one thing if there are strategic items that need to be secured. Beyond that? W.T.F. ?

Paris Island was evacuated.
