stabilize that dam while others figure out how to fix the gianle concrete face. 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 that's what we tell them, but it's 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, i'm rick reitzel. >> thanks for being live there this morning. good to know that some of that concern has lifted in some of these areas we're talking about all morning. >> yeah, near goldsboro, record flooding expected there where the neuse river is and along the neuse river near

they're gone. there's no rescuing them probably. you've 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

added another tug for a little bit more horsepower. the tandem operation seemed to do the trick because the bridge came down almost without a the metal out of the river so water traffic can resume.

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. we're still seeing like i said the water recede. we initially admitted a tremendous detour, probably one of the largest detours i've seen implemented in my career, we upgraded that detour last night where it travels between 73 southbound and 56. between the 13-mile marker up north to the 56-mile marker we're still having some issues, one of the things we're 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 we're finding motorists are using their gps get around the flooded portions of the interstate, only to find themselves in a situation where they're 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, we're just asking appropriated detours. the gps devices are going to take them to the quickest means necessary, but google or whatever type of gps they're using is not going to implement or have any type of flood information on it. it's just going to take them to the quickest means necessary or depending on what route they choose. we're 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. it's 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, we're starting to see brighter skies around the raleigh durham area. 49 degrees
