WILMINGTON, N.C. — Damage from Hurricane Florence left a North Carolina city popular with tourists cut off Sunday from road access, leaving authorities planning how to get food and water there by air and water. Officials from New Hanover County and Wilmington said Sunday that additional rainfall Saturday night caused more problems for the area. State Transportation Secretary Jim Trogdon said one of his top priorities was determining how to restore ground access to the area. “There is no access to Wilmington.”The major highways into the area, Interstate 40 and U.S. 74, were not accessible, officials said. ——For the latest on Hurricane Florence, visit https://www.apnews.com/tag/Hurricanes
