Kure Beach Pier right now. Pounding wind and rain like this for hours. Can’t get to Carolina Beach Pier on the other end of the island, too much flooding. pic.twitter.com/GxPliILmvg

"Hurricane Florence outer bands hitting Carolina Beach. What feel like tropical storm-force gusts and some rain. But thankfully, no flooding as we’ve seen farther north. Not yet at least. Long way to go."

"Hurricane Florence will hit Carolina Beach hard starting in several hours. This is the relative calm before the storm. Police strictly enforcing the curfew, and nobody is allowed on this beach anymore."

“Today the threat becomes a reality,” @NC_Governor says. “Our greatest concerns remain the same: storm surge and major flooding.” 2,800 Nat’l Guard soldiers activated; 108 shelters open; 56 school districts closed; power outages “in the millions” expected, he says. pic.twitter.com/8wRsAtmqeO

"Alice Melot has a remarkable story. Evacuated Galveston exactly 10 years ago ahead of Hurricane Ike. Lost everything. Now she lives in Wilmington, NC, and has been told to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Florence."

"We arrived in North Carolina. All stocked up on sparkling water (nothing else available), snacks and other basics. Next, we will sit down with a woman from Galveston who lost everything during Hurricane Ike. She now lives here in Wilmington, hoping history doesn’t repeat itself."

Timelapse of traffic leaving the NC coast, where many have been asked to evacuate. Other orders are mandatory. Busy I-40 WB for miles, as expected. EB wide open. pic.twitter.com/bvSSjVOMvr
