What is Florence NC near? Is it a small town? I know of Florence S C. All of eastern NC is or was flooded. Some places were 30 feet (yes thirty) above normal. You cannot begin to imagin the way it is here. I have herd rumors of floating coffins but dont know for sure, (you hear a little of everything in times like these.) Call the town hall or Chamber of Com. befor you come to make sure. They will know best. Maybe the County Sherrif ect.

I know it has nothing to do with the Duplin area...but I'm sure we have people in that area that can tell me how Florence made out in the storm. I have heard reports....but not given the area...that coffins were actually floating in the river streams. One part of my family has an old grave site in Florence off a river and my Mother & I are concerned. We are planning a genealogical trip to NC the first week in October and plan to go to the area...but if there is a problem I might not want to take her there. She would get quite upset. If anyone has information about the Florence area...please help. I know Dennis & Floyd visited this area. > >
