Floodwaters Rise

(Wilmington, NC) -- Flooding in parts of the state is expected to exceed that of Hurricane Matthew.

At last report, the river was over 15-and-a-half feet, which is more than four feet above flood stage.

 A Flood Warning is in effect for the Conway area as well as parts of Marion, Darlington and Florence counties.
