((More than a week after Hurricane Floyd flooded parts of eastern North
Carolina, many farms are still underwater. With crops submerged and
dead livestock floating in floodwaters, Agriculture Secretary Dan
Glickman announced more help from Washington.
Dan Glickman/Secretary of Agriculture "Five million
dollars has been made available to fund disposal of decaying hog and
poultry carcasses contaminating water in North Carolina as a result from
Hurricane Floyd."
Officials fear damage to North Carolina's agriculture will exceed one
billion dollars with small farmers bearing the brunt of it. It's
estimated the flooding could put one out of seven farmers out of the
business.
As floodwaters slowly recede, thousands are still stranded by
floodwaters. The National Guard is providing them with some relief,
airlifting food and supplies.
First Lt. Larry Bass/North Carolina National Guard "With the
rivers beginning to recede today,.. hope that in the next several days
those victims trapped by floodwaters
will be able to be freed."
In Wake County, residents living downstream from a lake are bracing for
more water. The Army Corps of Engineers plans to release a dam to
prevent the lake from overflowing.
Local companies are digging into their deep pockets to help North
Carolina recover. Senator Jesse Helms says he'll even ask one of the
world's wealthiest people, Bill Gates, for tax-free donations to flood
victims. Jennifer Jones, CBS News, Charlotte.))
