Death toll climbs to twenty in North Carolina flood
North Carolina reels from floodwaters after Hurricane Matthew as rivers Neuse and Tar rise. Robeson County towns like Lumberton face mass evacuations of 1,200 residents from a 22,000 population, while cellars and roads flood. Governors and rescue teams report daily fatalities and ongoing search operations. Nine crews conduct air rescues and many residents seek higher ground amid widespread property damage. Interstate 95 and a section of I-40 remain closed, with flood models predicting crest and recede timelines. Communities brace for continued danger and displacement as residents rally for unity.
