Storm winds might be dropping, but rivers are rising and the next few days could bring the most destructive round of flooding in North Carolina history. BY THE NUMBERS—Storm deaths: Florence is being blamed for at least 14 deaths in the Carolinas, while Typhoon Mangkhut has killed at least 66 people in the Philippines and China. Experts say Mangkhut may well end up being the deadlier storm, though Florence could tally a higher insured damage total. FIND ALTERNATE ROUTESOfficials say closures could last up to a week along Interstate 95 in North Carolina. COAL ASHDuke Energy says heavy rains from Florence caused a slope to collapse at a coal-ash landfill at a closed power station near the North Carolina coast.
