Hurricane Matthew has been monstrous for Haiti, Cuba and United States. The hurricane made a record-breaking flooding on Saturday. As the center of the storm moved in the Atlantic Ocean, it left a flurry of heavy rains over North Carolina.
In Southeast Virginia and Tar Heel State, the hurricane dropped 8 to 20 inches of rain in the. The hurricane was of Category 1.
The US National Hurricane Center is a press release said, "This rainfall is leading to record-breaking flooding over portions of eastern North Carolina, and it may result in life-threatening flooding and flash flooding elsewhere across the region.”
It’s not the heavy downpour that has created havoc in the region; the hurricane has done damages of large proportions and has left millions without any power supply in US Southeast from Florida to the Carolinas.
As of now the hurricane Matthew has weakened and even with the weakening the threats remain serious before the storm becomes a post-tropical cyclone on Sunday.
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory told residents the flooding could be the worst since Hurricane Floyd of 1999.
Even though Matthew made its first US landfall Saturday morning in South Carolina, part of the storm's eyewall -- the hurricane's strongest section -- passed over parts of coastal Florida, Georgia and South Carolina from Friday into Saturday, helping to flood low-lying areas, down trees and make some roads impassable.
