Five Million People could be left with. New bern North Carolina what looks like swamp land. Is actually small town suburbia. Newburn usually sits at the confluence of two rivers right now its residents on nearly underwater and in need of rescue thats all terrified of my life. It was hard im. Just wondering what. And where the waters going to go and now its going to hell and how were going to get out and hopefully were going to get trapped in the attic and that help has already reached hundreds of people up and down the east coast of the United States and many more have evacuated but its not over the flood danger from this storm is more immediate today then when it was then when it made landfall just twenty four hours ago we face walls of water at our coast along our rivers across four million in our cities and in our towns
war people now face imminent threat then when the storm was just offshore i cannot overstate It Floodwaters are rising and if you are watching for them you are riski
go live now to do that because one of my shrewder was standing by in the city of new bern north carolina my what is the situation room where you. will be rushed behind me you can see an example of just how strong the winds were and still somewhat are and how high the water got if anyone is missing a yacht it s in the parking lot of this hotel right here we also saw a sailboat a lifeguard vessel whole dock that had been ripped out of the water and smashed into the side of the gas station this storm let me just remind everyone was a category one and that was after a weekend dramatically coming over the atlantic ocean so we can see just sort of just struction that something even that s just a category one can cause and speaking with residents in new bern which is the town that so far has gotten the most destruction
