Flood waters rise,11 killed as Florence dumps 'epic' rain
US Tropical Storm Florence dumped "epic" amounts of rain on North and South Carolina as it trudged inland on Saturday, knocking out power and causing at least 11 deaths as flood waters that have devastated many communities kept rising.
Florence's intensity has diminished since it roared ashore along the US mid-Atlantic coast on Friday as a hurricane. But its slow march over the two states, crawling west at only 3 miles per hour (6 km per hour), is expected to leave large parts of the region deluged in the coming days, the US National Hurricane Center in Miami said late Saturday.
