Hello, you are in the cnn newsroom. Im ana cabrera in new york. The disaster from Hurricane Florence is most likely only beginning. Damage from the wind is over, cleanup will take weeks or longer. But more urgently right now, floodwaters are rising. Emergency officials are warning people in parts of North Carolina to get to Higher Ground or they are risking their lives. The flood threat is already proving deadly. In just the last hour the death toll from the storm went up. It now stands at eight. The latest victims of florence are two people caught in flash flooding in fast moving water just north of wilmington, North Carolina. Again, eight people now dead from this storm. And forecasters say conditions will continue to worsen as long as this massive weather system just sits and dumps rain, refusing to break apart or to move faster. Cnn teams are in place where the water is rising and where people are being told to take these floodwaters seriously. Cnns Martin Savidge joins us from wil

Bigelow, of Chatham, said he saw the bite marks on his board, got back on, and paddled in to shore as quickly as possible, alerting lifeguards and a nearby surf school.
He said he never saw the shark, and was not injured directly by it, but he did hurt his lower legs when he hit the board after the shark bit into it.
