Tiajuana Williams lives in a one-story apartment building in Princeville, North Carolina, that was flooded by a river bulging with rainwater from Hurricane Matthew. If other recent floods in Louisiana and elsewhere are any indication, she could face a long road to recovery. As of Thursday morning, about 3,400 people were staying in more than 40 shelters in eastern North Carolina. In Lumberton, North Carolina, residents are only just emerging from the shock of such a large disaster. Associated Press writers Tamara Lush in Lumberton, North Carolina, John Raby in Charleston, West Virginia, and Gary Robertson in Raleigh, North Carolina, contributed to this story.
