Residents fill sandbags as post-Florence flooding continues to hit Carolina neighborhoods

Severe flooding remains to be a pressing concern for cities along the Carolina coast almost two weeks after Hurricane Florence's departure.

The storm dumped at least 11 trillion gallons of water on the Carolinas, much of which has been draining down the Pee Dee and Waccamaw rivers which run across the two states. Thousands of residents in high-risk zones have been evacuated, with many homes already drowned by rising floodwaters.

This video, filmed in Conway, South Carolina, shows residents preparing sandbags.

To date, Hurricane Florence, which made landfall as a Category 1 storm on Sept. 14, has killed more than 40 people in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, with many of these deaths attributed to victims being trapped in cars during floods.
