Florence was downgraded to a tropical depression Sunday morning but Carolina residents are not out of the clear as widespread river flooding keeps some stranded. Storm surges, flash floods and winds scattered destruction widely and crews are working to rescue residents (pictured top right, a member of the US Coast Guard ' bottom, right a member of the Cajun Navy). Death toll from Florence has reached 13, including three who died in flash flooding on roadways. A couple in South Carolina died from carbon monoxide poisoning after using a generator inside their home Friday. Rivers are swelling toward record levels, forecasters now warn, and thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate for fear that the next few days could bring the most destructive round of flooding in North Carolina history.
