Elton Tankersley- Rivers keep Rising and More Deaths are feared as Florence pushes away

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/17/us/hurricane-florence-live-updates.html

The article describes many rescues in North Carolina after hurricane Florence hit land and left many people stranded as the water level became to high to move. The article also describes the efforts to help those in need.


The article was written pretty soon after the Hurricane so the information may not be fully developed yet, thats why the title is phrased with a little uncertainty. Many hurricanes have hit the U.S before most recently Hurricane Harvey, which hopefully helped to prepare the U.S to better respond to Hurricanes. This article was written for people looking for an update on Hurricane Florence and was written to describe and assess the current situation. It was written by David ZucchinoAlan Blinder and Tyler Pager, and nothing about them affects the accuracy of this piece.

  1. I heard that a one-year-old drowned in the flood waters, it was super sad to hear.

  2. Jude Holland - Many people always die in events like these, and I believe its the government's responsibility to warn everyone, wether or not they decide to listen.
