Hurricane Florence

Natural disasters cost $155 billion this year, and several of them struck the U.S. particularly hard. Hurricanes Michael and Florence, the California wildfires and Hawaii's volcano eruption are all on the list of the most expensive global disasters of 2018, according to the Zurich-based reinsurance company Swiss Re

On Sept. 16, Dazia Lee of Charlotte, North Carolina, lost her son, Kaiden, during Hurricane Florence when floodwaters rushed her car.

Flooding across the Carolinas in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, which has killed 36 people, was expected to worsen over the next couple of days, forecasters said

Global warming has increased the likelihood of more massive, sluggish storms like Florence, capable of dropping record amounts of rain and causing the type of catastrophic flooding that crippled North and South Carolina this week, experts said

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected on Wednesday to visit North Carolina, which is bearing the brunt of Florence's deadly deluge and where rivers are still rising while thousands of homes and roadways remain submerged.

Deadly storm Florence drenched North Carolina with more downpours on Sunday, cutting off the coastal city of Wilmington, damaging tens of thousands of homes and threatening worse flooding as rivers fill to the bursting point

The homes just off Alamac Road that Ryan Abshear visited Sunday, door to door, in the hard rain, are small, either one-story brick or clapboard, some tidy, others in disrepair. It is as varied as Florence's path and punishment.

The call went out through Facebook at a little past noon on Friday: Volunteers needed immediately to fill sandbags and dam up a railway channel where floodwaters have emerged before.

The governor of North Carolina on Saturday warned residents displaced by a killer storm against returning home because of the dangers posed by rising floodwaters.

Tropical storm Florence lumbered inland on Saturday, knocking down trees, flooding rivers, and dumping sheets of rain in the Carolinas where five people have died.

A hilarious video which has gone viral on Twitter with over 10 million views shows weatherman Mike Seidel seemingly struggling to stand in high winds during Hurricane Florence - even as two men walk calmly behind him, apparently unaffected.

A local television station in North Carolina was in the middle of its nightly broadcast Thursday when two of the station's anchors, chief meteorologist Donnie Cox and weatherman Shane Hinton, gave viewers an urgent update as an image of Hurricane Florence swirled over a map behind them.

Hurricane Florence made landfall in North Carolina on Friday, battering the state with a powerful combination of wind and rain. At least five deaths have been linked to the storm, according to officials.

This week - with storm surging warnings along the North Carolina coast proliferating - the Weather Channel used the tool to show viewers how that surge might affect a typical neighborhood in a "reasonable worst-case scenario."

Hurricane Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina at 7:15 am (1115 GMT) on Friday, the National Hurricane Center said.
