Hundreds are still trapped from Florence's flooding, and 'the worst is still yet to come'

Florence's catastrophic encore could bring some of its worst destruction yet on Sunday.

"We're going to get hammered," said Kevin Arata, spokesman for the city of Fayetteville, North Carolina. "The worst is still yet to come."
Never mind that Florence weakened to a tropical depression Sunday morning. That just means the wind speeds calmed down slightly.

The real dangers are Florence's relentless rainfall and historic flooding, which keep getting worse.

Florence has already killed 16 people, including at least two children, in two states. Volunteer rescue groups such as the Cajun Navy and emergency workers are scrambling to save hundreds of people still trapped by rising floodwater.
