Flooding along NC 211 near Lumberton make roads impassable on Monday, October 10, 2016.

The sun may be shining, but rivers are still cresting in eastern North Carolina as a result of the prolonged rainfall from Hurricane Matthew. Host Frank Stasio talks with 吉彩网网站 reporter Jay Price who is in eastern North Carolina for an update on the damage. Plus, Rob Young, professor of coastal geology and director of the Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines at Western Carolina University, discusses the shortcomings of federal flood policy and the method of categorizing storms that fails to adequately warn of the kind of danger eastern North Carolinians face.
