NEW BERN, N.C. (WITN) – After MumFest was cancelled this weekend due to weather, New Bern continues to see flooding from recent rainfall from a coastal low.
Residents and visitors woke up to flooded roadways Sunday morning, with water knocking at the door of much of New Bern’s coastline. High winds and rain continue to impact the area.
“I think it’s unbelievable,” said Kelley Broadribb, a New Bern resident. “I DoorDash a lot, I had to get a feel for what the roads were like and what the water level is right now.”
Driving conditions in low areas posed the biggest threats for those traveling in and around New Bern, Trent Woods, Bridgeton, and River Bend.
The city says several low-lying spots were impassable due to north-eastern winds and flooding. They advised avoiding Oaks Road at the bridge, Council Bluff Green along East Front Street, and areas along Renny’s Creek.

Union Point Park remained closed due to flooding.
Despite the conditions, many were still able to make the best of the day.
People could be seen wading through the waters throughout the day, and some took part in windsurfing as well.
