To the Editor,

I am proud to be a long-time resident of Lumberton.

During the past two weeks, our community has experienced some of the worst flooding since Hurricane Floyd in 1999. People have lost their homes, businesses have been destroyed and it is going to take some time to recover from this event. Luckily, North CarolinaGov. Pat McCrory, in conjunction with local officials, has displayed the type of leadership our community needs. Our governor has been on the ground traveling not only to Lumberton, but many other cities and towns that have been affected by the flooding

I just wanted to say, thank you Gov. McCrory for your leadership!
