Florence pours 23 inches of rain on Morehead City

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) – One city in North Carolina has picked up more than 23 inches (58 centimeters) of rain in two days from Tropical Storm Florence.
The National Weather Service said on Twitter on Friday night that Morehead City had received 23.04 inches of rain with more heavy rain coming.
Forecasters have issued what they call a a flash flood emergency , saying areas of surrounding Carteret County are flooding that have never flooded before.
Forecasters say it is especially dangerous after dark because people trying to escape may not realize how deep flood water is on roads.
Officials recommend anyone whose home starts to flood get to the highest point they can and call 911.
About 500 people had to be rescued in flooding early Friday in New Bern, which is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Morehead City.
Forecasters say an additional 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) of rain is possible through the night.
