Matthew’s Aftermath
North Carolina is still reeling from Hurricane Matthew.
The heavy wind and rain may have passed, but in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, the overall U.S. death toll has risen to 38. Parts of North Carolina are still seeing severe flooding, days after the storm dumped more than a foot of rain on the Tar Heel State. Evacuations are continuing as the water around the swollen rivers is still rising, even as parts of the interstates are closed due to the high waters.
