Jason Miczek / Reuters Members of the Coast Guard help a stranded motorist in the flood waters caused by Hurricane Florence in Lumberton, North Carolina, September 16, 2018. The storm’s death toll climbed to 14 when a man drowned after a pickup truck flipped into a drainage ditch along a flooded road in South Carolina. Radar showed parts of the sprawling storm over six states, but North and South Carolina were in the bull’s-eye. At 5 a.m., the storm was centered about 20 miles (35 kilometers) southwest of Columbia, South Carolina. Dozens of electric repair trucks massed to respond to damage expected to hit central North Carolina as rainwater collected into rivers headed to the coast.
