President Donald Trump landed in Morehead City, North Carolina on Wednesday to survey the impact of Hurricane Florence.
Days after the hurricane rolled through, the region is dealing with massive flooding. In Wilmington, residents lined up by the hundreds for free food, water, and tarps while officials opened up to the public two routes that had previously been impassable.
The president confirmed that later in the day he would be visiting South Carolina to survey additional damage in that state from Florence's push across the Southeast.

Florence is being blamed for at least 36 deaths in three states.
Remnants of the once-powerful Category 4 hurricane are now a rainy, windy mass of low pressure. The system has speeded up on a path toward the heavily populated Northeast.
