Videos Show Chaos Continuin In The Carolinas As Florence Unleashes Torrents

A common scene in the Carolinas now as Florence continues to
dump feet of rain on the region.

The winds have largely diminished with what was Hurricane Florence in North and South Carolina ut the expected catastrophic rains are coming down.

Major flooding is reported in wide areas in the eastern halves of these states and it will only get worse today.

So far, seven deaths have been reported with Florence. More than a million people don't have electricity. There have been hundreds of water rescues ane many more will surely happen this weekend.

As of late last night, as much as 23 inches of rain had already fallen and it's still pouring today.

News clips and videos emerging from the hurricane zone are showing widespread destruction. I have a few to show, below. I'm sure even more dramatic flood videos will come out this weekend.

We'll start with this ABC News clip, which captures the wide-ranging chaos:



This Washington Post video of horribly flooded New Bern, North Carolina reminds me of the scene and response to Hurricane Harvey in Texas last year:



In this video, a light is still somehow on in a submerged house being slapped by waves in the North Carolina flood waters:
