“Our search crews are actively working, searching for more victims and more survivors,” said Travis Donaldson, emergency services director for Haywood County.
About 20 remain missing and two are dead Thursday after Tropical Storm Fred flooded areas of North Carolina, the Associated Press reported. The storm hit Tuesday and made roads impassible, washed out bridges and flooded homes and businesses. Another death was reported earlier in the week in Florida when a driver hydroplaned and his car flipped into a flooded ditch. “Our search crews are actively working, searching for more victims and more survivors,” said Travis Donaldson, emergency services director for Haywood County, North Carolina.

Fred—now a post-tropical cyclone—was pushing through New York and New England with drenching rains, and Tropical Storm Henri was sending dangerous waves onto East Coast beaches.
