CHARLESTON, S.C.—Some of the South’s most historic cities faced the weakening but still powerful Hurricane Matthew as it plowed north along the Atlantic coast, flooding towns and gouging out roads in its path. Matthew was making itself felt in South Carolina Saturday morning. At least one wind gust of 61 mph (98 kph) was recorded at Beaufort, South Carolina. The latest forecast showed the storm could also scrape the North Carolina coast. But things began getting back to normal, with flights resuming in Miami and other South Florida airports.
