Hurricane Florence Kills 17, Deprives 570,000 Residents Power
LAGOS SEPTEMBER 17TH (NEWSRANGERS)- “This is historic.” That’s how one National Weather Service meteorologist described the amount of rain the storm has dumped on North Carolina. Officials raised the death toll to 17 Sunday as rivers swelled to record levels and 570,000 residents were left without power.
Although downgraded to a tropical depression, the National Hurricane Center says Florence could still cause “life-threatening flash flooding” and mudslides. Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Brock Long predicted it would leave “a lot of damage” throughout West Virginia and Ohio as it moves northwest.
