Call 911 If you need rescue. #FlorenceLocal shelter opens up to displaced dogs
A local dog shelter in Wake Forest, North Carolina opened up its doors to dozens of dogs from shelters that were forced to evacuate due to the hurricane.
Local residents have offered even more help for the 124 dogs, the News & Observer reports, and all the animals have found “hurricane homes” to take care of them through the storm.
Sometimes, government shelters are forced to euthanise animals before hurricanes due to over-crowding.
‘Avoid the attic’
The city of New Bern in North Carolina, where around 150 people are trapped in their houses by flooding, is urging people to avoid taking refuge in their attics because of the risk of being left without air.
‘Uninvited brute who doesn’t want to leave’: Governor
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has warned residents relentless rain will continue through the weekend.
“Rivers are rising to dangerous levels,” he said. In one area, he added, a once-in-millennium rain event is expected.
“Stay indoors, don’t drive through water, don’t use a generator indoors, don’t fly drones.”
Powerless
Almost half a million homes in North Carolina are without electricity, emergency officials say.

Motel full of ‘Florence refugees’
Gill from Buckinghamshire, who has been holidaying in North Carolina, told the BBC that she had changed her plans after hearing about the evacuations.
She was due to drive down the coast to Charleston, South Carolina. Instead, she travelled inland to Mocksville, North Carolina, well away from the Atlantic.
Gill said her motel was full of “Florence refugees”.
“Their cars are crammed with every possession they could fit in, they have no idea how long they will have to be here or what they will have to go back to.
“They are exercising their pets in the car park and watching the weather forecast constantly.”
‘Worst storm in a lifetime’
The mayor of Wilmington, North Carolina, tells the BBC’s Laura Trevelyan that Florence “is the worst storm he’s seen in a lifetime”.

Lisa McLeod from Wilmington in North Carolina has moved 150 miles inland.
Resident Lisa McLeod told the BBC that she had planned to stay at home but decided to move after the path of Florence became more certain.
“I’ve spent a decade in North Carolina and this is the largest storm we’ve had that’s coming straight for us. It would have been foolish to stay,” she said.
“I’ve got an app which monitors my home and I know the power went out at 06:00 (10:00 GMT) this morning. Hopefully that will only be for a couple of days.”
The 61-year-old has been staying at a hotel in Durham, South Carolina since Wednesday.

River flowing backwards in NC
The 202-mile-long (325km) Cape Fear River in North Carolina has begun to flow backward thanks to Hurricane Florence.
A National Weather Service report on the river said there was now an increased change of “potentially catastrophic flooding in the Sandhills and the southern Coastal Plain”.

Romance in the midst of a storm
A couple from North Virginia had planned a beach wedding on the coast of North Carolina this weekend.
Naturally, that plan has been wrecked by Hurricane Florence.
Marsha Bradway and Jonathan Gillenwater, both 56, told People magazine they still plan to have their wedding day on Sunday.
Where, you might ask? In their hometown, which is coincidentally called Hurricane.
Meanwhile, in Charleston, South Carolina, newlyweds on Wednesday brought their nuptials forward by two days to avoid the incoming tropical storm.

North Carolina’s governor tells a news conference that the hurricane is “wreaking havoc” on the state, and entire communities are under threat.
“We’re deeply concerned for whole communities which could be wiped away,” Roy Cooper said.
“Rescue workers are working in dangerous conditions that will only get worse today.”
He says about 500,000 people in the state are without power and a storm surge on the Neuse River is at 10ft (3m).

3…………> Gold Stash: Italy
Hundreds of Roman coins, dating back before 474 AD during the times of emperors Honorius, Valentinian III, Leon I, Antonio, and Libio Severo, have been unearthed at the site of a former theatre in Italy’s north.
The coins were found in Como — on the banks of the famous Lake Como, about 50 kilometers north of Milan — and were found hidden inside a soapstone jar during an excavation of the historic Cressoni Theatre.
Engravings on the nearly 300 coins suggest they date back to at least 474 AD, and it has been recommended they could be worth millions of dollars.
4…………> Trump’s Broom: ICE Operation “Soar”
Officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested 16 sexual predators during a 2-day period, ending Sep. 11 in New York City, the Hudson Valley and on Long Island, in an enforcement effort dubbed “Operation SOAR” (Sex Offender Alien Removal).
In the course of Operation SOAR, ERO deportation officers apprehended 16 individuals with criminal histories related to sexual offenses. Of those arrested, five were previously released from local law enforcement on an active detainer. ICE places detainers on individuals who have been arrested on domestic criminal charges and who are suspected of being deportable, so that ICE can take custody of that person when he or she is released from local custody. When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release severe criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission.
“Many of those arrested in this operation had been found guilty of inappropriate sexual behavior against a minor,” said Thomas R. Decker, field office director for ERO New York. “Our communities are safer, our children are safer, from the efforts of the men and women of ICE. We have removed them from our city’s streets, and we will seek to remove them from the United States.”
Arrests include:
5…………> Massive Gas Line Explosions: Massachusetts’
Emergency response crews are responding to gas-related explosions in three separate communities in Massachusetts’ Merrimack Valley region, local media reported Thursday. Three people, including a firefighter, were directed to the Lawrence General hospital after being injured.
State Police have confirmed 70 fires, gas, or investigations of gas odors in Lawrence and North Andover. However, numbers are expected to grow. At least one home has been reported as being destroyed.
According to local newspaper the Eagle-Tribune, the fires are the result of a problem with the gas line that homes and businesses in Andover, North Andover and Lawrence are connected to.
Massachusetts State Police have told residents in all the affected communities who are served by Columbia Gas to evacuate, as the company is depressurizing its gas lines in response to the incidents.
