One North Carolina Coastal Town Has a 'No Wake Zone' in Their Downtown

"The town floods often and deep, turning the streets into rivers. The best mode of transportation is kayak. Vehicles passing through create waves that splash against shop doors, effectively making the flood levels reach even higher. So on October 19, town commissioners declared the downtown a no wake zone, similar to what boaters often see passing through waterways near development." - excerpt from article in The Virginian-Pilot.
