Hurricane Florence dropped roughly eight trillion gallons of water on North Carolina, washing contaminants into the rivers and other waterways.
Jonathan Feeney's insight:

The storm was expected to approach the southeastern coast of the United States on Thursday, possibly near the North Carolina-South Carolina border.
Jonathan Feeney's insight:
To no ones surprise, the storm is going to be a nightmare for the residents living there. The governors of North and South Carolina declared a state of emergency. Chances are with warming ocean temperatures they are going to find themselves dealing with even larger storms as time goes on.
