NOAA'S 'Hurricane Hunters' flew through thick clouds before approaching the eye of Hurricane Dorian on its way north near the east coast of South Carolina on Thursday, a day before it made landfall over Cape Hatteras.
Hurricane Dorian made landfall along Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, Friday morning as the state's low-lying islands and waterfront communities brace for flash flooding and dangerous storm surge.
Welcome to Day 2 of #HurricaneDorian where @CityofNewBern is getting pummeled. No, it’s not #HurricaneFlorence, but persistent downpours are pushing that storm surge further across Front Street. Nearly 250 people in 4 @cravencountyem shelters. @ABC @ABC11_WTVD pic.twitter.com/gV4YMiEWGI Dorian is expected to dump up to 8 inches of rain in northeast North Carolina through Saturday, with as much as 15 inches of total rainfall accumulating in isolated locations. The combination of downpours and storm surge as high as 7 feet could cause life-threatening flash floods.
Some streets in the historic port city Charleston were underwater as Dorian's strong winds knocked down power lines and trees. Before approaching the United States, Dorian slammed into the Bahamas on Sunday afternoon as a Category 5 hurricane, making the strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall on record.
