Officials in New Bern, a coastal town in Craven County, North Carolina, said at least 150 people were "awaiting rescue" early Friday morning as the dangerous hurricane moved ashore, packing 90-mph winds.
"More are on the way to help us," New Bern officials tweeted early Friday. "You may need to move up to the second story, or to your attic, but WE ARE COMING TO GET YOU."
Emergency workers said they'd gotten more than 100 calls from residents in need of assistance, but there was no way to reach everyone immediately.
We wish people would heed the warnings.
