Executive Lamont McClure told Northampton County Council last night that no one in the County was killed by Tropical Storm Isaias. But it kept 911 dispatchers busy. During a 24-hour period, they fielded a total of 2,844 calls, and 778 of them were emergencies.
At this time last year, 911 was receiving an average of 1,283 calls per day.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
One of the dispatchers I know said it was their busiest day since Superstorm Sandy. I don't know how they do it
