As Tropical Storm Ophelia hits the East Coast, here are the latest updates on flooding, rain and damage.
Tropical Storm Ophelia swept ashore in eastern North Carolina early Saturday morning and is poised to plow northward through the Mid-Atlantic this weekend.
Its winds had begun to weaken by midmorning, but Ophelia remained powerful, unleashing dangerous gusts and heavy rain from North Carolina to New Jersey. Millions were under tropical storm warnings, and coastal areas faced a storm surge that could cause life-threatening floods. The worst conditions are expected Saturday, with North Carolina and southeastern Virginia bearing the brunt, before the storm weakens Sunday.
