Cruso damage

[edit]

From User talk:Hurricaneboy23: I saw a source that said Cruso, North Carolina had $300 million in damage, which was unbelievable but it could be true. You made this edit that said the damage was in Canton. My belief is that things were so bad in Cruso that it's entirely possible the damage number is that high. The source I used said nothing about damage in Canton (which is why I believe your source was actually referring to the Canton area including Cruso) but mentioned Clyde ($18 million) and that might possibly be worth mentioning. What do you think?

I think it's clear the damage was in Cruso, but I don't see how. Even The New York Times used the figure.

This was not copied but is being posted here for the first time. The $300 million figure is being used in numerous sources, based on a Google search, and it says Cruso. I keep expecting a correction to $30 million, but if that many newspapers have picked up the story, okay.
