Once again, they downgraded the Evacuation Order, but still are warning about safety for neighbors and first responders. Would you want me to leave your kids in that zone, i think not. So thats what we tell them, but its ultimately up to you. Stabilizing the dam is only a temporary fix bringing it back up to Safety Standards living downstream, they say that could be a very expensive proposition. Live here in spring lake, im rick reitzel.

If that dam gave away theyre gone. I want you to understand theyre on a dam that if that thing theyre gone. Theres no rescuing them probably. Youve got millions of gallons of water that i can them away. Moore county commissioners fear for the safety of 80 people who remain at home despite evacuations. Water levels could rise an additional 2 to 3 feet if the dam breaks.

The governor knows that this legislation was much broader than a voter id law, although this was the strictest in the country. It had to do with early voting, the ease of early voting. Both candidates offered thoughts and prayers to flooding victims and their important time to hold the debate right now and as the election gets closer and closer, we want to remind you if you havent registered to vote, the deadline is this week.

A round of explosions on an arkansas bridge was supposed to make it fa the nearly 100yearold structure just would not go down without a fight. It collapsed into itself so contractors had to come up with a backup plan. They attached a cable to part of the brimming and started pulling on it. That eventually did the trick. Didnt work at first.

In addition to rescue workers in our state are trying to keep an eye on North Carolinas roads and highways. Many of them like i95 in Harnett County are beginning to reopen days after Hurricane Matthew shut them down. Unfortunately officials still have a lot of work ahead of them. Sergeant Michael Baker is with the North Carolina Highway Patrol. He joins us now. Thats right, Sergeant Baker we had the opportunity to speak with you yesterday, and you told folks that they dont have oget out, stay off the roads. Surely seeing water receding. We ever keeping an eye on the eastern portion of the state primarily around goldsboro, kinston, the areas around the neuse river. We are still seeing it rise as it continues to crest. Down in lumberton, they are still having some major issues with flooding. Fortunately around the triangle area our conditions are is it any is it in any better condition today than yesterday . It actually is. Were still seeing like i said the water recede. We initially admitted a tremendous detour, probably one of the largest detours ive seen implemented in my career, we upgraded that detour last night where it travels between 73 southbound and 56. Between the 13mile marker up north to the 56mile marker were still having some issues, one of the things were asking motorists to do in the event they are traveling on 95 is please follow the detour routes. Refrain from using any type of gps devices. Try to find an alternate route because were finding motorists are using their gps get around the flooded portions of the interstate, only to find themselves in a situation where theyre attempting to cross flooded secondary roads. Please use those appropriated detours. Follow the message boards, follow the signs and so forth that have been put up by the department of transportation. And also Sergeant Baker we understand that drivers who are heading out today should not be using their gps. Why not. Again, were just asking appropriated detours. The gps devices are going to take them to the quickest means necessary, but google or whatever type of gps theyre using is not going to implement or have any type of flood information on it. Its just going to take them to the quickest means necessary or depending on what route they choose. Were asking you to follow the message boards. Use the appropriate detours put in by the department of transportation. Sergeant michael bake some very very good advice and a new update on how our roads look. We look forward to talking to you hopefully tomorrow as well. We know the troopers are working diligently to make things better. And good advice about gps. You can drive into flooded waters. Its very easy. You certainly can. Sometimes it tries to take me still to that main route. Good news is they have those detours posted for you. Get to your destination safely. Morning, were starting to see brighter skies around the Raleigh Durham area. 49 degrees right now. This is out at the airport. Look at this, not too shabby as we start off our morning, its looking pretty clear, and those clear skies allowed for Cool Temperatures this morning but will allow for temperatures a little warmer this afternoon.

Heres the day ahead, a chilly start, 48 through 8 a. M. 65 at lunchtime. Plenty of sunshine there. Normal high for this time is 74. Well be close to 72. Pretty close to norm, cooling off quickly though heading into the 6 00 hour. We should be dropping back to 67 for that evening drive home. Heres the setup for today, High Pressure to the north and east, cold front to the west. Between these systems the week. Cold front moves through as we head towards thursday night and friday. No rain anticipated with that front but certainly a drop in temperatures. I do think as High Pressure builds back in for friday and saturday, highs will struggle to reach the up 60s. No rain in the forecast, which is great news for the swollen rivers that continue to rise in some cases theyll be able to recede later this week. Here we are, sunshine for us through lunchtime continuing into the afternoon. Maybe a little extra cloud cover for the eastern side of our state, no thankfully. Heading into overnight tonight well stay on the clear side and thats where well be to start off our thursday morning.
