The state of North Carolina and FEMA have approved an additional $1.6 million to reimburse the City of Wilmington for debris removal costs following Hurricane Florence.
As the state begins to clean up from yesterday’s strong storms, heavy winds today are toppling trees and caused power outage numbers to climb quickly across the state this morning. Governor Roy Cooper authorized transportation waivers to allow utility companies to bring repair crews from out of state and get faster access to communities without power.
“Though the worst of the rain is over, flooded roads and downed trees remain hazards,” Gov. Cooper said. “All of us need to help local emergency responders by avoiding flooded roads and downed power lines.”
As a line of strong storms moves across the state today, many areas of North Carolina are experiencing dangerous weather conditions, including heavy rains, flooding and tornadoes. These storms will move east toward the coast this afternoon and evening.
“Everyone should remain alert to rapidly changing weather conditions and have a way to receive weather alerts from the National Weather Service,” said Governor Cooper. “Using a NOAA weather radio, or a smartphone app that provides emergency weather alerts for your location is a good way to stay informed.”
