Although Hurricane Florence downgraded as it neared the coast and veered south, many coastline towns are experiencing flooding and several other areas are experiencing power outages.

Here’s a quick sitrep on some of the clubs that were in Hurricane Florence’s wake:

• All-American Fencing Academy:  No damage or flooding at the club, power outages and downed trees throughout the city.  Some schedule changes.
• Mid-South Fencers Club: Some schedule changes.
• Apex Fencing Academy:  No damage or leaks.
• Research Triangle Fencing:  Some schedule changes.
• North Carolina Fencing Development Program:  Some schedule changes.
• Salle New Bern:  Staff is good.  Unknown condition of recreation center where Salle New Bern practices.

• Cape Fear Fencing Association: Situation not completely known.  Cape Fear Fencing Association is in Wilmington and about 5 blocks from the Cape Fear River.  The club is prone to floods so materials have all been moved off the floor. I-40 is washed out in 2 places.  County management says power may not return for another 2 weeks.  TOURNAMENT CANCELLED WEEKEND OF 22/23.
