new information, fayetteville police out of north carolina now issuing mandatory evacuations for cumberland county because here's why. the little river at manchester is expected to rise rapidly over the next several hours. in fact, they expect it to break the previous record by six feet. they're telling people get out, get out now. you have to get out before we see that river rise. and it is not the only one. we expect 20 of these rivers here to reach major flood stage in the next three to five days, and 30 of them to reach moderate flood stage. again, the reason for this is not just all of that storm surge that came in over the last 24 hours, but rainfall coming down. you have two very heavy bands, one north of wilmington and one that's south of wilmington. the rainfall in this area is coming down about two to three inches an hour. that would be fine if you only got one hour's worth of rain. we know a lot of places are getting far more than that. already numerous locations are picking up over two feet of rain, including swansboro. over 30 inches. that sets a record for the state of north c

cumberland county is doing a wonderful job, but thankfully they have support from a swift water rescue team that's helping evacuate people from los angeles as well as from nebraska, and in both cases they're not just here, they've already been deployed. they've gone out and helped people get into the areas and bring some people to safety. again, the crisis is sort of happening as we speak. we calculate it to be about 35 feet above flood stage. it's expected to go to a record, an incredible 62 feet. clearly where i am will be well under water and we've done a little bit of a calculation that the flow of the water here is going at somewhere around 6 to 8 miles per hour. so remember, in that sort of water, in 3 inches it can knock you down. you don't want to go out into the flow of the water. >> kerry sanders, stay safe out there. we will be checking back with you through the day. thank you very much for that. incredible footage both on the ground and in the air. i want to go to matt in lumberton, north carolina. what's going on where you are, matt? >> chris, as you can see, the rain has

notice is that fayetteville police in north carolina have now issued a mandatory evacuation for cumberland county because of some of the rivers, creeks, streams. specifically little river at manchester is rising rapidly at this point in time. previous record was 29 feet, they expect it to get above major flood stage but exceed the record by 6 feet. and it is going to get there very quickly. they're telling people get out. don't stay there. it is not safe any more. unfortunately this is just one of the few rivers we're keeping a close eye on. we're expecting 20 of them to reach major flood stage in the next three to five days, and also nearly an additional 30 of them likely to reach moderate flood stage. the thing is, it is all of that water. you have water that originally came in from the ocean into the base, tributaries, inlets, pushing into rivers, creeks, streams. and you also have heavy rain coming down that will flow back into rivers, creeks and streams, and a lot of them will not crest until at least tuesday of the upcoming week. and it will likely take another three to five days aft
