There is no doubt that Hurricane Florence was one of the worst weather disasters to hit North and South Carolina. The hurricane hit the Wilmington area especially hard. Flooding closed all roads leading in and out of the city at one point. The numbers tell the story well:
- 02 inches of rain making it the worst rainfall event in Wilmington ever (2nd worst ever in the United States)
- 105,000 residents without power
- 1,215 people stayed in one of five shelters through the storm
