RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina must withstand more torrential rains, gusty winds, and river flooding from Tropical Storm Florence next week, but emergency leaders are already working on the recovery. “We are expecting several more days of rain, and our focus now is getting people away from immediate danger,” North Carolina Gov. The North Carolina Baptist Men’s organization planned to begin soon moving kitchen equipment inland, where they expect to prepare 85,000 meals a day when all its feeding operations are up and running. The first units were expected to come online early next week in New Bern and Washington, North Carolina, according to Jack Frazier, the Baptist Men’s disaster relief co-ordinator. In previous hurricanes in North Carolina, residents lived in trailers while they rebuilt or found permanent housing.
