The Person Street bridge isn't usually a sight-seeing destination.
But it drew crowds for a few days in September in the wake of
Hurricane/Tropical Storm Florence. The slow-moving storm
dumped an estimated 8 trillion gallons of rain on North Carolina
and lots of that water poured into the Cape Fear River, which
rose and rose. And then rose some more.
