and the rain just started. it made its way throughow and they'll see the fresh water coming down the river. they saw i coming from the atlanta starting to see some shower activity. we're not seeing this here. storm surge along the carolina coastline with a little more, why it is so devastating. we'll have moreat on >> yeah. and i was reading a paper from the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. they did a study with all the atlantic cyclones, tropical storms, hurricanes, the number one cause of death by half is storm surge followed close second by flooding. fresh water flooding. so again we are going t see some storm surge that continues on roll into the areas. especially north of the circulation. d g said, some of the fwrarngs the carolina coastlin myrtle beach, they have beenft but take a look. the wind is blowing from offshorend in it is blowing the water up into our area. so again, we are seeing in thel north ca area, this happening. you're getting the storm surge and this water hashe n to go. i

and the rain bands continue. in toward new bern, they'll contin to see the storm surge and then up along the pamlico river a lot of damage in that area as well. >>> the rivers and streams pour out to the streets and inundate people's mes. >> and plenty of water rescues, like the one here in washington, nort that's where we find jim handly. >> reporter: this is it. water as far as theye e can see. you are better off climbing the tree o get around. this is a bike rack. hundred of boat slips. they were scrambling yesterday. lots of debris piling up from the damage. if you can pan over, this will pan over. the problem is the other side of that bridge, route 17 islod because roads have high water and dirt. w t to show you the four by four. the biggest challenge monday, tuesday, wednesday, are getting around the streets. they a blocked off because they are like rivers. the rescues have had to be done on pontoon boat people are going door to door. we've got high tide at 11:00 p.m. and serve banks that. back to you in bi

you mentioned the rains. mieright last night a we got off the air at 11:00 we saw rizontal rain just pelting us. now we are getting our first look in ourm storm t 4 by 4 of what it did to the roads here. we're headingow south toward kitty hawk because one of the concerns they had and one of the issues tha we saw late yesterday in kitty hawk was overwash on the roads. this is the first car we have seen on this road. it's been a complete ghost town but we s do some street lights on so that's a good sign. we haven't lost power here. but you can see we are riding through some high water right now. the sidewalk is completely covered and the grass because this area has been saturated since last weekend. they got a lot of rain before this struck overnight. we're seeing some really heavyp ling and wash over up here as we get closer and i will probably be up there in about 20 minutes. there's video south of us. in topsail beach, north carolina. water rushing into a beach front garage causing a wall to come crashing do

and that's what's allowed just round after round of rain, continue to drop that heavy rain. we continue to see these numbers climb to levels you typically don't see with a normal hurricane making its way on to landfall. some spots getting up to 20 inches of total rainfall. it's not done yet. rain still falling heavy in some of these locations. i expect these numbers to climb. this is your forecasted additional. not what we have already seen, but from right now continuing on. areas getting up to another 15 to 20 inches in some spots. that's going to stretch into south carolina, myrtle beach area. here are the winds, they did get up to triple digits in some locations. we are now looking at the winds at 50 miles per hour. they have been at 50 miles per hour for 24 hours. it lingers slow tonight tomorrow morning. by late saturday, you see it begin to take off and it will be clearing out. that's not the total story. the river waters are going to continue to climb from monday into tuesday and wednesday. even though the rain will likely finish by the enof the weekend, that water is

all of the heavy rain. ange and red sitting across jacksonville, north carolina will be in the hea rain for are hours now. the storm will slowly continue to move west as we go through the next couple daysil it wl bring some of the heavy rain into interior nth and south carolina and try to rain itself outhe in ohio river valley and northeast by kentucky. we will see the mostsi t -- by wednesday. we willee the most by wednesday. those are the times we could get the 2 to 4 or 3 to 5 foot storm surge and in the rivers, we couldee a 4 to 7 foot storm surge. that is above high tide. that is the river flooding we are concerned about. flash flood warnings are in effect because of the heavy bands moving through north ourolina. that lead to flash flooding at any point. remember, dounot drive t flooded roadways if you cannot tell how deep the water is. the flash flood threat is across eastern north carolina. could see 2 to 3 inche per hour in the tropical downpours. that is why we will see additional flooding. it move

of heavy rain. here's your futurecast. again, you can see the rain pushing through the area all througho the day, through lunchtime, through your afternoon and evening. becomes more showery later on this evening and through the overnight but i believe we'll have fog and swers around for that monday morning commute. could get a break through the day tomorrow withf peaks sunshine. that will be the exception not the rule and then we'll have stronger storms as we head into your monday afternoon, monday ,vening. think about mond we'll be in the 60s today, back in the 80s for mondaynd tuesday and humidity rolls back in as well and by tuesday morning we start drying t. tch out, visibility is low throughout as well with some fog. temperatures tomorrow will be in the d-s and, again, some storms and rain possible later on in the afternoon and evening. here's florence right now, still a tropical storm. winds are at 70 miles an hour but another five miles to g and that's a category one hurricane. you have to ha

we still have a lot of rain moving in with the heavy rain bands. northern carolina is getting a lot of the rain bands. up to inches per hour which will create additional flooding to that storm surge they got on shore and watching that move on shore, we'll push more of that rain inland to give you coastal flooding and also flooding for the inland location. areas like charlotte, that's one location quite so far in this whole period of time. we'll be seeing the rain pick up as the storm moves toward the northwest. then tonight we'll be seeing things change. the rain gets pushed up to the north. sunday florence starts to weaken but continues to drop heavier rain. there's already a lot of saturation on the ground so there's nowhere for the water to go. it needs to recede and it's not going to get enough time. look at what happens into sunday night. it makes it's way up north. still looking at the remnants of the rain. this is going to be a heavy rain maker from now and we did expect this to happen and the rain totals will be adding up. moth morehead cit

that's rain.e is under the h in moorhead city, and that's seven feet above sea level, and we have big waves on top of that. john, i will try and get you to dry out for just a second and i will toss it to chris cuomo in north myrtle beach, and what you have there he will have in about 12 hours. >> reporter: i will tell you what, it's that amount of time that raises the concern, not just the amount of time with that rain and that wind, but what leads up to it. i mean, even these relatively baby winds of something like 40-mile-per-hour gusts are plenty to soften up structures, and root structures of vegetation in the area, and shingles are flying off and we will see what happens when the high tide turns around, and a lot of people stayed even though it was a mandatory evacuation zone. in the 8:00 hour, you are going to have the fema director, brock long, he's going to be on the program as is the head of the national weather center. you will get insight from the top on the show. that is to come. in te

that's a lot of rain in two days.he fox business network's christina par is in myrtle beach where i think they have been spared. >> going to get worse. almost every spot of rain falling in this direction has a grain of sand. little bit more painful than i imagined. 54,000 people in south carolina are without power. that's probably climbed a little bit higher since i last second the stats in dry area. i'm on myrtle beach and it seems definitely like the storm has moved in our area. tronel rains. i was originally when i spoke to you last, shep, i think i was on the strip. now that entire street has been flooded which is why we moved down to the beach in the far distance probably come back but there is a police officer they are driving patrolling. the police officer, myself and these two seagulls are the only ones on the beach right now. did i speak to a woman maybe about an hour and a half ago. i met her at a doughnut shop that happened to be the only doughnut shop open. the only restaurant open. they had no doughnuts.

is it still raining? it is still raining. inches an hour, thatis getting two to three inches an hour, that is now the big threat. this is the main river here in wilmington and it's expected that it won't be until tuesday before this river actually crests from the gigantic amount of rainfall it's getting. it is flooding now, long—term flooding here on the coast and inland as well as flash flooding, some places with 20 inches of rain just since yesterday. that is the big risk now to life and property. what we are seeing is across north carolina and south carolina, what is happening on the coast is that this tropical storm is now moving at only two miles an hour, so incredibly slowly, and just damping miles an hour, so incredibly slowly, andjust damping rain miles an hour, so incredibly slowly, and just damping rain on us. the effect this has is its like a slow motion catastrophe, gradually the water levels are going to rise here in the cape fear river and elsewhere. by mid week next week, there will be large—scale flooding. tha

the heavy rain rolled through, the heaviest rain south. also down here toward wrightville and wilmington. the reinforcing shots of rain continue becauselorence is not moving. two miles an hour. maybe that's . have a few light sprinkles right now. we may have some sunshine if you're north. if you're south, we'll be stuck in a cloud cover. uthere's the edge of that cloud cover. the outer edge of the rain bands are south. we gathered the moisture fe atl in the form of fog, clouds and what we're seeing. florence's track, it's tropical storm. winds are 15 miles per hour. itnu will con tond m over the south carolina state and the northeast quadrants so big. we'll have flooding all the way through centralor nth carolina. it rolls up through charlotte where they could get ten inches of rain it hugs around the west virginia border and comes to the northeast towardss maine a rem innocent low. but all of this moisture has go somewhere. we're going to have the effects from florence felt in our area throughout the weekend but mainlyda monday tu here we

the rain comes down, we cat t a brea rain comes back, we catch a break. then we also have to deal with the atafte which of course, has been the flooded roads. there's sometimes cones in the road because of road damage. so crews can get to work restoring power ase they ere off of braddock road. no doubt the conditions we've seen for the past several days have been making a big impact here i the d.c. area. despite breaks here and there om the rain, few spots are actually close to dry. slick p blacktop anding are a few of problem spots you'll see around toy. perhaps a spike like this. storm cleanup. fairfax at westbound bddock road, dominion energy crews work to repair a damaged power pole and wires after a tree fell. dominion crews also working n a power problem at the ca kelly school. overnight outage left the p building withtial power. school remained on today and staff reportedorok. for many, the wet weather and storm damage mean for a slow start to the day. some wrecks did, too, like this serious crash along eastbound 56 between chain bridge rote and nu
