Hurricane Florence: An Overview

Introduction

Hurricane Florence struck the eastern seaboard on September 14, 2018, causing extensive damage. Despite being downgraded from a Category 5 to a Category 2 hurricane, it left significant devastation in its path.

Impact and Damage

Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, and moved north-northwest, weakening to a tropical storm. The storm brought heavy rains and flooding, with many rivers exceeding their banks. The city of Wilmington was cut off due to flooding, and numerous homes were damaged or destroyed. As of the last update, 32 deaths were linked to the hurricane.

Future Outlook

Experts expected Florence to regain strength and potentially transition into an extratropical cyclone, bringing further heavy rainfall and risks of landslides and more flooding in western North Carolina and southeast Virginia.

Support and Recovery

Rescue and recovery efforts were ongoing, with officials assessing the damage and helping affected residents. The full extent of the damage was still being determined as the storm subsided.
