In the flooded town of Lumberton, where the Lumber River has occupied the entire town, located about 35 miles south of Fayetteville, rescue workers have been using sonar equipment to locate cars, and bodies, lying within the murky waters.。

Interstate 95 -- the north-south highway along the East Coast -- was closed in Lumberton and engineers could not predict when it would reopen. 。
Flood projections show that river crests will flood portions of East Carolina University in Greenville, as well as the airport there. 。
