Tarboro North Carolina shelters house evacuees from Hurricane Floyd as 1,000 families gain temporary trailer camps. Residents describe a fragile sense of home while crews plan opening in a few days.
Tropical Storm Harvey soaked Florida's Gulf Coast with over 10 inches of rain, prompting school closures and flight disruptions. Naples reported center of the storm 30 miles south at 2 pm EDT with winds near 50 mph while Collier County officials warned of ongoing flooding. Governor Bush had declared a state of emergency for 56 counties as Tampa evacuation warnings were lifted and a stranded cruise ship was allowed to depart Tampa.
Carnival Cruise Lines Tropicale, 660 feet, was disabled by an engine room fire on Sunday, drifting in Gulf of Mexico amid Harvey’s storm. Tug Beverly Anderson followed as engineers restarted the starboard engine, and the ship headed toward Tampa at about 9 mph. Passengers remained aboard with functioning amenities as the port reopened and the ship resumed its voyage.
