STORY BY JENNA HOLLEY<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, the East Coast faced a terrifying hurricane. Hurricane Florence made landfall Thursday and brought massive storms to the Carolinas. Florence was a Category 4 causing roads and schools to be closed in the wake of the devastating hurricane. Fort Bragg was closed as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

Residents of North Carolina and South Carolina have endured massive flooding in the last few days caused by the heavy rainfalls. <\/span><\/p>\n

In order to prepare for the storm, many people made sure to stock up on supplies prior to the hurricane hitting. \u00a0A family friend of mine, Donna Hall-Carroll of Lillington, North Carolina, made sure her family had several cases of water, food that didn\u2019t require cooking, and that their cars were full of fuel. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hall-Carroll also said people should not panic in the wake of their first major disaster and to \u201cmake sure they have a safe place to go if they need to evacuate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Many volunteers are working to help people affected by Hurricane Florence. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst-responders have been wonderful, coming from all over to help,\u201d Hall-Carroll said. <\/span><\/p>\n
