High winds and storm surge from the hurricane hit Swansboro, North Carolina, bending and uprooting trees and flooding streets.
Structures, such as this one in Swansboro, collapsed as the storm surge and hurricane force winds whipped through the area.
In this photo, resident Russ Lewis covers his eyes from a gust of wind and a blast of sand as Hurricane Florence approached Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
With rain pounding relentlessly, the streets were deserted.
Earlier this morning, the New Bern Police Department pushed out a tweet showing water rescues in the city. Scores of people still await rescue there.
