SURF CITY, N.C. (WITN) - Millions of dollars are headed to a beach town to help with Hurricane Florence-related expenses.
Florence had major impacts on our coastline, including subjecting the coast to extensive erosion.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, says that Surf City will receive just about $8 million to reimburse them for the installation of emergency berms to prevent future storms from harming property along the coast.
