A press release issued by the city earlier this afternoon reported that several people were rescued from vehicles trapped in water in eastern Guilford County by county officials but no one has been severely injured. Eight people were reportedly evacuated from six homes in the Carrington Street area of Greensboro, and resident in the Ashley Creek Apartments were warned of possible flooding.
Photographer Brandon Pierce documents how the greenway hugging Benjamin Parkway has become a sea as a result of North Buffalo Creek spilling over its banks. He captures a young man jumping out of trees into the pool, and a kayaker steering towards the playground equipment.
UPDATE: 3:28: All roads now reported to be open.
