The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) has issued additional storm surge warnings in its latest Hurricane Florence update at 11 p.m. on Sept. 11.
Life-threntening storm surge warnings are now in effect for the entire North Carolina coast and parts of South Carolina—from Edisto Beach, South Carolina, all the way up the North Carolina coast through to the North Carolina/Virginia border. Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, and the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers received special mention in the storm surge warning as Hurricane Florence continues to barrel towards to U.S. mainland. The Category 4 storm system is now bigger than the size of Michigan state.
