North Carolina is beginning to clean up from Hurricane Irma, with trees down and power out in parts of the state. Irma’s rains will continue across the state today, but significant flooding is not expected as North Carolina was spared the full force of the storm.
Comienza la etapa de limpieza tras el paso del huracán Irma en Carolina del Norte, que dejo árboles caídos y hogares sin electricidad en partes del estado. Las lluvias de Irma continuarán en todo el estado hoy, pero no se esperan inundaciones significativas, ya que Carolina del Norte se salvó de toda la fuerza de la tormenta.
"Tal como se esperaba, Irma trajo fuertes vientos y lluvia a Carolina del Norte, y varias tripulaciones ya están trabajando en la limpieza de caminos y la restauración del poder", dijo el gobernador Roy Cooper.

"Seguimos tomando la preparación para esta tormenta en serio, y estamos siguiendo los pronósticos de cerca", dijo el gobernador Cooper. "Pido a las familias y negocios por todo el estado que hagan lo mismo: asegúrense de estar listo para lo que Irma pueda traer, y estén atentos al clima y noticias locales".
