WALLACE, N.C. (WNCN) - - It's no secret that Interstate 40 between Raleigh and Wilmington has been covered with floodwaters since Hurricane Florence hit.
But, crews got a surprise Saturday when they went to areas where the waters had receded and found -- a highway covered in dead fish.
The Penderlea Fire Department had to hose down a stretch of I-40 on Saturday because of what appeared to be hundreds of dead fish that were left behind by the flooding.
"Well, we can add 'washing fish off of the interstate' to the long list of interesting things firefighters get to experience!" the fire department wrote on Facebook along with video of them washing away the fish.

That must smell good.
my first thought, as well.
Folks, USE THE MARKED CROSSWALKS!!!
Good fertilizer, plant some maize.
Will they be added to the hurricane death toll?
I can just about hear my Dad say - get out there and pick up as many as you can to bury in your garden. Great fertilizer.
If you have not seen photos of the I-40 flooding, here is a drone view of some of it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHo0fe78KWo
And if you ever think your day is going bad, realize that the buildings in the video are part of a chicken farm. And someone has to clean that mess up.
Wow. Someone took a boat down I-40.
“Will they be added to the hurricane death toll?”
Gawd, how I ADORE Freepers, LOL! Thank you! :)
So true! When my boys were coming up and we fished a lot, we always saved the heads and guts when we were fileting them.
You pay Big Money for fish emulsion now-a-days! ;)
Can you imagine a mix of composted fish entrails and mule droppings for the garden?
*SWOON* LOL!
