Tropical Storm Michael

President Donald Trump has approved a major disaster declaration for North Carolina to provide for federal assistance to areas impacted last fall by Tropical Storm Michael.

North Carolina farmers impacted by Tropical Storm Michael or Hurricane Florence may be eligible to get help from the state to cover some losses.

A large sheet of metal found on a North Carolina beach has been identified as debris from a SpaceX rocket.

State Transportation Secretary Jim Trogdon says that while the skies may be clear, many of the roads are not. Fallen trees and downed power lines are still a problem across the state.

Mudslides, swift-water rescues and closed roads were among the impacts that Tropical Storm Michael brought to North Carolina Wednesday, hitting the western part of the state particularly hard.
