The death toll from Hurricane Florence has reached 32, while the rivers in the Carolinas continue to rise from the record-breaking storm. Tens of thousands of homes have been damaged. The city of Wilmington, North Carolina, remains largely cut off from the rest of the state. On Monday, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper warned the worst flooding may still be to come.

Governor Roy Cooper: “This is an epic storm that is still continuing because the rivers are rising in certain parts of our state. Some areas have not seen the worst flooding yet. So this is a monumental disaster for our state that affects many of our counties, many of our people.”

The rains have also swamped coal ash dumps and open-air hog manure pits, adding to the storm’s devastation. Duke Energy says 2,000 cubic yards of coal ash—not 20,000 cubic tons, as we reported on Monday—were released amid Tropical Depression Florence’s massive flooding in North Carolina. That’s enough ash to fill roughly 180 dump trucks. The toxic ash could run off into the nearby Cape Fear River.
