The death toll from Hurricane Florence had increased to 32 people on Tuesday morning, as officials rushed to get relief to a North Carolina city still largely marooned from the rest of the state by flood water.
The N.C. Highway Patrol has stressed that people trying to return home should not drive around police barriers, said Cooper. "Please don't make yourself someone who needs to be rescued", he said even as rains stopped in several places after Florence moved on and the tired residents got a brief glimpse of sunshine on Monday.
Authorities have opened two routes into the city of Wilmington, North Carolina, which for a time was completely cut off by floodwaters. One person was killed in Virginia by an apparent tornado whipped up by Florence, and six were killed in SC.
Rescuers have saved about 700 people in New Hanover county, where Wilmington is located, and 2,600 people across the state.
"Road conditions are starting to improve in some parts of our state, but rising creeks, streams and rivers continue to make travel unsafe", he said in a news conference.
As of today, 356 primary roads are closed in North Carolina, up from 108 on Sunday, said Secretary of Transportation Jim Trogdon. He urged residents who were evacuated from the hardest-hit areas to stay away because of closed roads and floodwaters that submerged entire communities.
