Hurricane Florence Forces Closure of Fort Fisher State Historic Site
From the September 19, 2018, Wilmington (NC) Star-News.
The visitors center at Fort Fisher State Historic Site has suffered leakage. (To be fair, the center, built in 1964 does need a new roof but a new center is in the planning so not likely.)
Christine Divoky, the Friends of Fort Fisher director reported that fragile items in the museum had been removed to Raleigh in advance of the storm.
Some trees are down and there is still water standing on the World War II airstrip.
