Helicopters airlifted food and water to stranded residents of a North Carolina Outer Banks island Friday after it suffered “catastrophic flooding” as Hurricane Dorian swept up the coast, the governor said.
"Currently the island has no electricity, and many homes and buildings are still underwater," Cooper said, adding officials"have heard reports from residents who say the flooding there was catastrophic." The storm also caused damage on Cape Hatteras and other parts of the Outer Banks, leaving them without power, Cooper said.
