Can't help but wonder how its
gonna affect the aircraft that don't move out....

I found out a few years ago when NC was flooded by Fran or ?. I took a
flight a few days later east of RDU. The flooding was concentrated east of
I-95. I set the GPS for KETC - Tarboro.

Determined to part of the problem rather than the solution, I flew around
watching rescue helicopters and National Guard relief aircraft doing their
duty. When I got to KETC, I couldn't find it. I circled at the GPS
coordinates and suddenly realized the entire airport was underwater (53
MSL). Half a dozen a/c were still tied down and fully underwater. The
runway was highlighted by a runway shaped oil slick floating nearby like a
shadow.

A few days later I learned that flights were prohibited over the area. Wish
I had a camera that day.
