Hurricane Florence after
Meanwhile, flood record is likely on the coast of South Carolina as a result of Hurricane Florence. NHC reported that a large low pressure zone about 300 miles south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, produced showers and thunderstorms on its northern slope.
Florence made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane on September 14 and has since killed at least 47 people in several states.
Economic research firm Moody's Analytics estimated that the storm had caused about $ 44 billion worth of damage and a production loss, one of the 10 most expensive hurricanes in the United States. The worst disaster, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, cost $ 192.2 billion. Hurricane Harvey last year cost $ 133.5 billion.
