The National Weather Service for Newport and Morehead in North Carolina is tweeting out haunting images of flood damage as Hurricane Florence continues to pound the state.
Storm surges, punishing winds and rain are turning some towns into rushing rivers -- and the Category 1 hurricane is expected to crawl over parts of the Carolinas into the weekend, pounding some of the same areas over and over.
