Hurricane Dorian floods Outer Banks trapping residents
In North Carolina the weakened Hurricane Dorian pushed seawater across the Outer Banks with 4 to 6 feet of water, forcing hundreds to climb into attics on Ocracoke Island. Gov. Roy Cooper warned of many trapped as neighbors used boats for rescues and storm surge overwhelmed low-lying areas. Local residents reported never seeing flooding like this and described a rapid wall of water entering homes.
