Nearly 150 people trapped in New Bern, N.C., as town battered by Florence

As Florence made landfall on the coast of North Carolina Friday, a city about a hundred miles north was among the worst hit areas so far, with about 150 people stranded and 200 already rescued, officials said. "People surrounding me are under water. They have been trapped in their attics,” said Tonya Moore, a New Bern resident, who was awaiting rescue with her mother, husband and five children ranging in age from 6 to 16. Their home had not yet flooded but was impossible to flee, and officials told her the area could expect up to 30 feet of water.
