N. Carolina storm surge to last all day, flooding may last until next week

Hurricane Florence is hitting North Carolina’s southeastern coast, causing a storm surge that is expected to last all day Friday. But that’s not even the brunt of it yet. Hurricane-force winds are currently happening along the North Carolina coast and are expected to spread to portions of South Carolina later Friday. In the mean time, a mandatory evacuation order for coastal Virginia residents in Zone A has been lifted by Gov. Ralph Northam.
