Several
years ago, Betty and I were preparing for an upcoming member-guest golf
tournament. We had friends coming up from Florida and we were really
excited about the prospects of a really fun time. Then it began to rain.
It rained for a solid week. The tournament was cancelled. We had terrible
flooding and many roads were impassable. I thought I would never
see anything like it again. Well, I was wrong.
This
week in three days, we got over 20 inches of rain. Some roads were
flooded and some houses in low areas had a lot of water around them.
There was really no damage to speak of other than a few flooded garages.
The biggest difference from now and when we were rained out of the golf
tournament is that the Village staff does much better getting rid of the
standing water on the roads. They are much better equipped to deal with
this now and it shows.
I
took a quick tour this morning and except for a few areas, things are
pretty much back to normal. The sun is out and I hope to hit a few golf
balls this afternoon. If anyone would like me to check your Island home,
please just let me know and I will be happy to take a look.
Bald
Head Island, there is just no place I would rather be.
Look
for my yellow golf cart “Sales Office” around the Island and come see me.

BHI Experiences Torrential Rainfall
 The Cape Fear area has been experiencing record level drought
conditions throughout the entire month of September, leaving a 15-inch
rainfall deficit for the area. But that changed when rain began falling
steadily last weekend and didn’t let up until late Thursday
evening. This September is now recorded as the second wettest on
record with rainfall of just over 22 inches! The record is 23.41 inches.
The Village of Bald Head Island staff has
done a wonderful job of reacting quickly to the flooding with multiple
pumps around the Island sending water to outfalls on the ocean, river and
creek, all part of the effort to lower the water table across the Island.
For the most part, properties fared very well. Several roads on the
Island have had water issues, but the majority of the roads are fine.
Some homes had flooding to deal with but never fear, BHI is as resilient
as always; things are drying out.
