Hurricane Florence though a Cat 1 storm caused extreme flooding in North Carolina

Florence blew her nose, sparred with tears Darkened our thoughts, loosened our fears. Driving recklessly, we looked on as she steers, Unabashedly crashes and dies. So long dear! 9/13/2018

So true! What a difficult storm! Recovery will be hard for those in the Carolinas!

Great title, also like 'darkened thoughts, loosened fears' very powerful like its namesake!
