The deadliest storm. The most sweeping destruction of roads and homes in the state ever. The most staggering farm loss - $1 bil lion in crops and livestock and still counting. And the toll continues to rise. Rivers won’t crest in many places until later in the week. Forecasters are calling for perhaps 3 to 4 more inches of rain for the area Tuesday and Wednes day. “Every once in a while some thing happens that proves to you, no matter how hard you work, you are never completely in control,” said Clinton, who Monday after noon viewed flooded areas by heli copter and visited Tarboro in Edgecombe County, about 70 miles east of Raleigh. “The damage was unbelievable. I was surprised by it.” Floyd could end up as one of the most damaging hurricanes ever to strike North Carolina. It’s al ready the deadliest in at least 45 years. At least 35 people were con firmed dead in North CaroHna Mon day from Floyd’s aftermath, with the number expected to climb as waters recede. That’s more than the 24 from Hurricane Fran in 1996 and the 19 from Hazel in 1954. Wearing khakis and cowboy boots, Clinton stopped by a Tarboro shelter run by the Red Cross and Salvation Army. Along with N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt and Federal Emer gency Management Agency head James Lee Witt, Clinton lingered to listen to people pour out stories of lost possessions and worries about their future. In addition to federal disaster aid announced last week, the Labor Department will use $ 12 million to hire temporary workers to help with hurricane cleanup, Clinton said. Emergency food stamps also will be available. “When things like this hap pen to some of us, we know they could happen to all of us,” Clinton said. “We know we have a respon sibility as members of the Ameri can family to help you get back on your feet again, and we intend to do it.” Hunt said he implored Clinton to “tell the nation” about the devastation, both long- and short-term. “I’m asking that everybody in America help eastern North Caro lina. We need a lot more money than everything that is headed our way,” Hunt said. Thousands of people re mained unable to return home be cause of flood waters that virtually shut down the coastal plain east of Raleigh. State officials said 30,000 homes were flooded and 1,600 dam aged beyond repair. Some flood waters are a putrid, dangerous mix of rotting carcasses, toxic cheni cals and floating sewage.
