Here s a look at the storms that have left their imprint on Craven County and surrounding areas in the past decade:
2020: Hurricane Isaias made landfall on August 24 near Southport and made a beeline for inland Goldsboro. The effects in town were mild with 2 inches of rain (2 and a half in Havelock). You can live with a hurricane like that.
2019: Hurricane Dorian came in with an honor guard of tornadoes on September 5 one damaging homes and businesses on Emerald Isle. New Bern was not badly affected with winds only reaching 54 mph (though we got a dousing of 7 inches of rain), but Ocracoke was hit with a seven-foot storm surge and the island is still recovering. 190,000 North Carolinians were without power.
