Estuaries also began to recover more quickly than has been expected. The flood did kill a number of slower moving aquatic animals and affect the food supply of fish. What still remains unknown is the flood's lasting effect.

Though focusing on the isolating impact of a recent hurricane on Ocracoke, the state's experience with Hurricane Dorian taught the author any area might become solitary in the midst of floodwaters. It also prompted her to pose the question to all North Carolina communities, townships, and neighborhoods: do you have a survival plan in place, in the event of weather-generated isolation from local, regional, and state resources?
