Tropical Storm Florence weakening to a Tropical Depression

The weakening of Florence to a Tropical Depression by yesterday is not in any way a sigh of relief for the residents of North Carolina who have seen over 2 feet of rain and are now battling major‑river flooding and possible tornadoes.

North Carolina Govenor, Roy Cooper says flood waters are still raging across parts of the state, and the risk to life is rising with the angry waters.

Since making its landfall as a hurricane in North Carolina on Friday morning, it has caused 15 deaths.

According to Authorities, an estimated 15,000 people were in shelters, and 171 primary roads were closed including parts of two interstates.
