Florence Flooding: When area floodwaters will go away
NORTH CAROLINA (WTVD) —
Hurricane Florence brought flooding to many parts of North Carolina, and while some area rivers are expected to crest Tuesday or Wednesday, floodwaters should start to recede.
But there’s some good news. Big Weather said since we won’t see much more rain and localized flooding should start to recede Tuesday and continue throughout the week.
However, that’s not the case for several rivers.
Many parts of the Cape Fear River, which has Cumberland County bracing for potentially dangerous flooding, are expected to crest — when floodwaters reach their highest point — this week.
