The family feels fortunate they have flood insurance, but dont happy ending . A rescue of a different kind. This time a horse needed help. Livestock was threatened by rising water. One of the animals was a horse named bob. Bob has had a rough life and was in a livestock pen when the water invaded. He got him out and took him to another facility where hes being cared for, but they have a different dilemma. Where is bob going to live now . Pet finder has information, and you can have him for thats it. Looks like a beautiful horse. Yes, beautiful, but thin. Not quite sure the story, but oh my gosh. Yes, someone will adopt bob and hell have a wonderful home, but rescuers are called on to rescue everything and everybody. You talk about being tired and overworked. The last 48 hours. They havent slept. The governor was talking about that. Were blessed to have them. Yes, we are. So at least we have clear for the next 10 to 15 days, so i think were good there. So significantly going to dry out so the rivers can come down. We head to tarboro and princeville, and you can see the river basin and water rain that falls, runs into the tar river, and heads down into the river and sound, and the water eventually makes its way into the atlantic ocean. Heres whats happening throughout the day. Weve seen the river rise. Now the feet. Minor flooding occurs at 19 feet. Its 38. 88 and rising, and candace sweat, you saw her, the water levels behind her going up. The forecast crest is 35. 4 feet, but since floyd theyve built the levee or dike around the area, and the dike would withhold water up to 37 feet. Flooding would not occur since the forecast crest is at 35. 4. But earlier this evening Cullen Browder was telling us about the mapping alert system the state came up with, and heres what the forecast looks like with the expected crest of 35. 4 feet, and this is princeville, all the homes in princeville, and across the river theres tarboro and all of homes, and this is where the river runs. You see the little sliver with the south. With the 35. 4 feet crest, this is where the water would spread, and you look, and theres no homes in this area, so it would effect areas not populated. Its getting close to residences here and some here, but if it stays where they say it will princeville and tarboro would be okay for the most part, so things looking okay, unfortunately doesnt look like it would fall below normal or to normal until mid to late to come. And heres the other computer, we do expect a cooler night. The coolest night since may 12th. 42 on this morning. Long dry stretch. 10 to 15 days of dry weather, and the state fair opening thursday, and it will be off to a warm start. Its rather cool right now. 47 the low, below normal, and rdu is clear and 51. Mainly clear night. The dewpoint at 46. Temperatures close to home in the 40s and 50s, and in the broad view, 45 in roxboro. All is quiet on satellite and radar. Watchings the next front arriving thursday night bringing the next opportunity for rain. So futurecast forecast numbers overnight, by 11 00 the upper 40s to low 50s. Low 40s in the morning, but could see upper 30s in the Northern Counties and southern virginia. Lunchtime tomorrow were in the mid60, and low 60s to upper so it bodes well for on going clean up. Overnight upper 30s to low 40s. 43 in raleigh and fayetteville. Forecast by 8 00 a. M. Super chilly. Make sure the kids are dressed appropriately if they have school. 45 at 8 00 a. M. , lunchtime 65, and the next seven days dry, we peak at 78 thursday with the warmest day this week, and then after a cold front passes thursday night, friday cool, so if youre headed to the state fair friday the midway will be chilly. And you said some parts of state will have lows in the 30s in. Upper Northern Counties. Too soon maybe . Its gone from summer to deep fall. Oh, man, i was hoping for that gradual [ laughter ] all right, the flooding forced people from their homes. Yeah, they returned today. The first time. Next in sports well update you on the panthers game, they finally scored. Coming off the loss the wral sports with Mandy Mitchell the buccaneers on monday night football. The panthers have lost two straight, trying to avoid falling to one and four this season. Its hard to believe. Cant show the highlights quite yet. The panthers do have a 76 lead on the buccaneers. They didnt score the entire first half, didnt look good at all, but they finally got into the end zone. Both one and three teams that need a win tonight. Hoping to have the highlights at scheduled for thursday night was postponed due to the flooding from matthew. The game will be made up on november 19th which was luckily originally scheduled to be open dates for both schools. A game time hasnt yet been set. Larry says his team is not using the weather as an excuse for the loss to virginia tech. The heels getting ready for a big trip to miami to play the quarterback whos having a good season. He was beat up a little against florida state. Currently has a banged up shoulder, so theyre waiting to see if he can play this week, but unc will prep for him, and they know he has the talent to make the plays. He can spin it. Hes a quality quarterback, and theres no doubt, im sure i dont know where hes projected, hell go high, he can throw it. I think hes just a play maker. Find a way to get the offense going, and thats that some quarterbacks cant do, but he find a way whether its running or passing, and he does a great job. Speaking of play makers, nc state has a date with clemson in death valley start. Watson at quarterback, golman at running back, just a few that had good days against the pack last season. They have great players, so theyre going to make players. College football, but i know our guys believe that we can compete play in and play out with anybody, and its a matter of being consistent enough throughout the course of the game and not having a let down. We are about one month away from College Basketball season. We will hear from roy williams and the heels with their media day tomorrow. Wake forest had theirs today, and canny manning has a really Danny Manning has a really young team. Only one with experience. Despite the youth, this is a team that really excited the head coach. We like the skill set, we like the talent level, and its just eight of our 13 days on scholarship freshman or sophomores, so were young, but when youre building, thats how you have to build, and thats how we want to build, and were excited. We think well be able to go out and have a chance to do good special things. Basketball starting in one month. I cant even. Summer is over. Basketball and hockey all of the sudden playing the regular season games, so its time. The people forced out of homes by flooding head up to the roof for safety. The rescue still to come. And we talked to residents displaced by flooding in wayne county. And find out how does goodys work so fast . Heres how. Goodys powder races right to your pain to deliver relief. Fast. And now collect four of my Trading Cards inside specially marked boxes of goodys a man attacked me in a parking garage. Tried to stab me with an 8inch knife. But i carry a pistol. I fight back. Thats why im still here. If she chooses. Hillary clinton disagrees with that. Dont let
