Florence Moves Inland, Claiming Five Lives, And Threatening The Region With Floods

Description

According to a report by Reuters, on Saturday, tropical storm Florence moved inland, flooding rivers and towns, knocking down trees, and cutting power to nearly a million homes and businesses, as it dumped unprecedented amounts of rain on North and South Carolina. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said in a news briefing, “This system is unloading epic amounts of rainfall, in some places measured in feet and not inches." Despite being downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm after making landfall on Friday, Florence has already claimed the lives of at least five people, and forecasters warn that the 300 mile-wide storm threatens to leave much of the region under water in the days to come.
