At this writing, Florence was a tropical depression headed toward the Northeast with heavy rains. The storm leaves behind a wide swath of destruction in North Carolina.
New Bern, North Carolina, seems to have taken a particularly tough beating from the storm.

This video from Channel 4 News shows the downtown docks during the height of the storm this weekend.
