Matthew's punch still delivers pain to North Carolina

The flooding disaster is forecast to slowly unfold over the next several days as all that rain - more than a foot in places - flows into rivers and downstream, likely causing more inundation in many of the same places devastated by a similar deluge from Hurricane Floyd in 1999
Thousands of people found themselves suddenly trapped in homes and cars during the torrential rains. Rescuers in Coast Guard helicopters plucked some of them from rooftops and used military vehicles to reach others, including a woman who held on to a tree for three hours after her car was overrun by flood waters.
The storm killed more than 500 people in Haiti and at least 20 in the US - half of them in North Carolina. Most were swept away by flood waters.
