this is matthew's third book. his second, "harry truman's excellent adventure," which traced harry and bess truman's cross-country trip in 1953, got a lot of great press, and in 2009 "the washington post" called it one of the best books of the year. and additionally before that, he wrote a book about the war years and football and the spiegels, which is a combination of the pittsburgh steelers and the philadelphia eagles. this is during world war ii, another interesting book. he's got a very eclectic background. not just an author, not just a journalist, but let me tell you some of the things he has done. he has been a hot dog vendor at a traveling circus. he's been a halloween costume salesman. he's been a gas station, a convenience store clerk, and all this is going to put him in good stead because in two months he's moving to mongolia with his wife, who is a foreign service officer who is taking a position there, so that should be pretty interesting. and very importantly, he is a friend to this museum and a mem

we got wind and rain. >> matthew was a lot worse, matthew with a lot of trees and this year maybe twor three trees. >> a lot of people grateful this wasn't as bad as expecting. officials are saying this isn't over yet and expecting rainfall to continue through the weekend. they expected river flooding conditions to develop over the course of the next two days, this river here is the pd river, it's a river that started in north carolina and flows down into south carolina, a lot of into south carolina, a lot of from north carolina. they said one of their big concerns is that not only will they take on water from the rain in the state of south carolina, but also all of the rain that we have seen up in north carolina that that will travel down and potentially cause big issues, river flooding and possibly potential issues with some of the basins, officials say highest priority has been the pd river basin trying to take precautions to make sure when the river flow into that and more water comes into that from north carolina and south carolina, they don't have a major issue on their hands, s

during matthew, it was well over my head where i am standing now. these are all the major concerns as to what happens next, how much water continues to fall, and of course where that water goes. we want to give you a sense of what's happening now around the carolinas. let's take you to south carolina. scott mclean is in conway. he's about 15 miles north of myrtle beach where some evacuation orders have been lifted, but that area, scott, is not out of the clear yet. >> no, erica, it is not. as of 9:00 a.m. this morning, people were allowed to go back to their homes in the myrtle beach area. we're in conway, as you said, about 15 miles inland. people are returning to their homes, but the flooding, we're starting to see the first signs of it. this is some of it. it's actually somebody's driveway down there. you can see it looks more like a canal from this vantage point. i'm actually standing on what would be normally a road. you can see it actually stretches all the way down to that bridge where you see that golf cart driving around. he actually tried

they had a plan for everything, matthew. they had a safe room in the hotel that was on the inside away from windows. they had a plan for when the generator went out. they had a plan for the ice, they had a plan for the water and food. it was very impressive. what is your assessment about how the federal government has gotten ready for this? >> i think the federal government has done what they need to do in this process. i think they've actually handled it quite well, i think they deserve good marks for that. i think the most important thing you were just pointing out is what the private sector can also do in this space. so, we have a partnership where we're looking, we at concordia, at the long-term implications here. we need to remember that hurricanes like katrina, for instance, started at $50 billion, $80 billion and settled at $160 billion. so the economic impact can be big. i heard congressman wilson advise, which is smart, for people to stay put. things that affects employment, shipments, a lot of economic activity tha

just two years ago almost to the day, in fact, hurricane matthew came through and went over a coastal south carolina, didn't do the damage that was expected but then over the coming, over the days after matthew this river began to rise and as you look down, you can see the road bridge beyond us, the waters got very close to topping that road bridge, well, if they hit what they say could be those record levels then it could actually this time go over the bridge, we are told that this is a 12-foot, that's described as moderate flooding, arthel. it's expected to reach major flooding around the 15-foot level within the next 24 hours, that's when some of the homes, many of the roads in the conway area are likely to be flooded and on top of that, they say that within 3 to 4 days it could get another 3 feet on top of that rising to 18 feet, that as i say would be a record and it is a very dangerous one for conway. it's also the kind of record we are going to see along side other rivers throughout south carolina and north carolina and officials say there are still very dangerous days ahead, a

in comparison, hurricane matthew two years ago, that's 5 feet over where it flooded from hurricane matthew. this is going to be catastrophic. it's going to go on for days. we will not know the extent of the inland flooding for several days. people need to be aware of it. flooding, they call it, you know, the silent killer because it sneaks up on you. people, if they see standing water, you should never try to drive through it. turn around and don't drown. >> so important. we can't say that, can't stress that enough for folks. as we know, this storm is far from over. as it does move inland. even as it's continuing to rain in many of the coastal areas, we know that these federal disaster declarations have been approved by the president. that is important obviously moving forward. what else can you do from your end? what else do you believe needs to be done at this point? >> so the federal disaster declarations are for the first eight or nine counties. there will be additional counties included in that. i've discussed with fema this morning including sams son county. this is going to take mon

it happened in 2016 after hurricane matthew. and it's happening again with hurricane florence in 2018. florence is different because the rain event lasted days. it lasted three and a half days. with heavy rain coming over and over. and what that caused is the immediate flash flooding of the other events that happened in the first 12 hours. didn't occur until today. after the rain subsided. we had areas of of the city flooding today after the residents thought they were out of the woods and areas flooded today so far with the hurricane florence are flooding at much greater rate than anything we have seen ever before. woef houses that aren't even in floodplains that are flooding. it's an event we're still preparing for. when these waters reseed, the rivers will flood. and river flooding it will get to level that's higher. we're expecting three feet higher than hurricane matthew. which was a record. our refer ever river level at matthew was 17. it will get over 20 with florence. that's something that will be hard to fathom what we'

matthew doesn't want to take those steps along. of the bell, i've got something else. >> oh, hey. >> yeah, that is bethany. now they've known each other since primary school. they kind of met at a gym in their teens. they started dating in their 20s. they've been together 2 1/2 years and he couldn't wait another second, the second he got to the end of his treatment. she's been by his side the whole way. had he to get down on one knee and pop that question. >> you don't want to take no steps, you want to take the plunge. >> like you said, she's been there for him every step of the way. they've got the sickness and health out of the way, let's start our life together. >> they seal it with a big smooch and then, we get to ring the bell after the ring running her be -- rung her bell. >> they said they're closer than ever and if you're wondering about a date, well, he still has to face some family surgery but they've got a family holiday coming up in 2020 and they think it will be some point after that. looking forward to it. >>> i like

you talked about matthew and i looked at ray levels, 15 feet recorded in hurricane matthew. we are expecting much more, we could get 30 feet with the storm. those winds, was that expected? >> reporter: it downgraded from a 4 to a 2 but i would say this is sustained wind of 70, 75 miles an hour i suspect, perhaps a few in excess of 90. an hour ago there was a reported gust at 92. debris if you look here, this is what we are seeing, shingles flying left and right. when this -- it is unbelievably dangerous. we are probably going to wake up to a lot of damage from the wind people thought might be listened. now it is here, it is real. >> that is why they say pay attention and don't let your guard down. thank you, we will check back with you about those folks in new bern which are trapped, 150 of them. keep us updated on that as well. let's talk about the power outages, power already knocked out for hundreds of thousands of people. the worst is yet to come. jonathan siri is live in wrightsville beach with the latest. >> reporter: 185,000 people without power and we are among them.

this pier two years ago in hurricane matthew, it withstood the pounding from matthew.'s another pier behind it though that you can't see that was destroyed. now, hurricane matthew, a category 2 storm, but it passed through here in a couple of hours. hurricane florence is a category 2, maybe a little bit stronger storm, that's going to sit over this area for two days. so just think of the destruction it might be causing there. again, i'm in oak island, but a little bit north of where i am is wilmington, north carolina. a lovely city, a population center along the coast. i'm joined now by the mayor of wilmington, north carolina, bill saffo. and if i can start with a selfish question. after we're done here this morning, we plan to head to wilmington. that's where we're going to ride out the brunt of this storm. what can we expect as we are there for the next 48 hours? >> you're going to see a lot of wind, you're going to see a lot of downed power lines. you're going to see downed trees. you're going to see a considerable amount of flooding. we're talking about 20 to 30 in
