At least 2 deaths in North Carolina have been connected to the hurricane.
North Carolina officials worked Saturday to help residents return to their homes after Hurricane Dorian swamped parts of the coast with so much water and debris some communities were cut off from the rest of state.
The Outer Banks experienced catastrophic flooding as Dorian roared up the coast Thursday and Friday, blasting trees and structures with 90 mph winds, stranding thousands of residents and flooding homes. At least two deaths in North Carolina have been connected to the hurricane: an 85-year-old man fell off a ladder while preparing for the storm, and a man suffered a medical emergency while securing his boat in a marina.
