Several victims died on flooded roads.

“Remember: Most storm deaths occur from drowning in fresh water, often in cars,” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said. “Don’t drive across standing or moving water.”

511,000

The number of customers without power Monday morning – according to the US Energy Information Administration. Of those, 486,000 were in North Carolina, 15,000 in South Carolina and 15,000 in Virginia. The number of people who lost electricity is far greater because a single customer can represent an entire home. By late Monday the number in North Carolina had dropped to 342,884, the North Carolina Department of Public Safety said.

Hundreds of trees collapsed from the storm in coastal North Carolina, including these in Wilmington.

10,000,000,000,000

Florence is expected to unload a total of 10 trillion gallons of rain on North Carolina, weather.us meteorologist Ryan Maue said. That’s enough to fill more than 15 million Olympic-size swimming pools.
