摘要

Although overall damage to North and South Carolina boatyards from Hurricane Florence is unreported at this time, a good report came from High Rider Seafood in Varnamtown, N.C., located on the Lockwood Folly River.Corey Galloway of High Rider Seafood says the firm lost a portion of their railway dock and had high water inside their fish house; but the firm's 67' x 18.5', shrimp boat, High Rider, survived the 110-mile-an-hour wind gusts and 25 inches of rain. Priorto the hurricane, the vessel — along with 10 other shrimp and pleasure boats — was moved from the fish house and railway "up the creek" on Lockwood Folly River and tied off to trees. Other than some minor damage, all the boats made it through the storm, says Galloway.
