Police in Daytona Beach helped rescue two kittens stuck between two fences as Hurricane Dorian passed through Florida, after receiving a call from a local woman who spotted them.
Hurricane Dorian made landfall over Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, Friday, battering the state's barrier islands -- the Outer Banks -- with torrential rain, ferocious winds and dangerous rising floodwaters.
Meanwhile, Hatteras Island, about 35 miles away from Ocracoke Island,"is literally drowning... the flooding is insane," said Outer Banks resident Sarah Ashley."We're praying that these winds die down before high tide [Friday afternoon]," she told ABC News via email. At least 250,000 homes and businesses were without power across the Carolinas and Virginia on Friday as a result of the storm, now a Category 1 hurricane.
South Carolina has already seen more than 10 inches of rain since the storm barreled up the coast on Thursday.While #Dorian is headed out the door, the storm is far from over.For our sake and yours, stay off the roads and out of the ocean. pic.twitter.com/KpYlnoKUQq Even the Northeast will see impacts from Dorian when the storm grazes the coast with heavy rain Friday night into Saturday morning.
