Wasn't there a post here earlier about the flooding in Topsail with photos?

Can you get in to Topsail now?

down Weeping Willow. The water has undermined the asphalt and has almost completely destroyed the pavement. They are putting some gravel in the ruts, which isn't very user friendly for bicycle travel so be careful in that area.

Weeping Willow was already messed up the week before and was deeply rutted when we arrived on Easter Sunday. There was some water standing and mud. Dried up after a couple days. They do need to fix it.

Most of the water has gone down at Topsail. Some sites still have water running through them. As of last night water was still draining from above the tent camping area across Pampas Grass Blvd.,down Weeping Willow. The water has undermined the asphalt and has almost completely destroyed the pavement. They are putting some gravel in the ruts, which isn't very user friendly for bicycle travel so be careful in that area.

On the way to the beach you have to go through two large pools of water over ankle deep before you get to the T in the road. Our neighbor watched a Cottonmouth swim across one pool of water in front of her.

Talking to some of the locals, they say they have never seen this amount of rain in such a short period of time, even during a hurricane.

All is well at Topsail but some road repair is in order.

It was probably gone the next day. Its sand and it's just above sea level.

As long as it doesn't keep raining until then. It usually takes a couple days for it to recede pretty good.

Thanks. Looking forward to it

Here are some of the pictures of yesterday. It's 10:30 AM, Thursday, and it is raining again.

Water had gone down some but will probably be two or three days without rain before it is off the roads.

I would like to see them. One of our favorite places.

Yep, it was my post. Someone must have not liked it. I don't think I violated any rules.

Guess I won't try that again.

Nope servers crashed. All posts for about half a day were lost.

We were at Topsail last week when they had about 20 hours of steady rain. The newer section roads were under water, didn't notice it getting up to the campers, but I can't imagine that being true after the recent flooding. We have said many times how lucky we were to have been there that week, as we drove through Alabama where so many of the tornados touched down. Topsail is a beautiful campground that we can't wait to visit again. Let's hope everyone was safe and damage wasn't too bad.
