Our top stories, two massive storms causing Serious Problems simultaneously but have a world apart. Monster typhoon mangkhut is bearing down on china after leaving a trail of destruction in the philippines. Well have more on that story in a moment, but well start here in the united states. Florence was just downgraded to a tropical depression. It may be weakening and moving away from the carolina coast, but the danger is far from over. This storm has already killed 13 people. And officials warn the massive flooding could just be getting started. Florence is dumping enormous amounts of rain as it moves inland. And all of that water is pushing rivers to record levels. The city of jacksonville, North Carolina, is warning people who evacuated their homes ahead of florence to stay away for now. Widespread power outages, impassable roads and flooding are making it dangerous for them to return home at this moment. Cnns ed lavandera says people who did not evacuate are worried the flooding could get worse. Reporter we are along highway 258 in a neighborhood north of jacksonville, North Carolina. This is an area where throughout the course of the day about 30 people had to be rescued from their homes by coast guard helicopters flying overhead. All of this because theres a river running through the city or into the city called new river. And the water from that river is spilling into many neighborhoods. We have spent the day in this one particular neighborhood where residents had told us earlier today around 7 00 in the morning they noticed the floodwater started creeping into the neighborhood. And it didnt take long for several dozen homes to be under 3 to 4 feet of water. Obviously, on a third night of rainfall here in jacksonville and along the North Carolina coast, many people huddled in their homes going to bed once again wondering about what exactly it is they are going to be waking up to. We interviewed several families who said they never expected this neighborhood to be threatened by floodwaters. That it has withstood heavy downpours from Tropical Storms and major hurricanes in the past. They thought they were going to be high and dry here. Nonetheless, we saw several families loading up their cars and packing up as many belongings as they could and heading to Higher Ground here to avoid the floodwaters. The good news is here as night fell, it started to recede a little bit. But it is, again, raining and many people expect the river wont fully crest for a couple of days. And they wont feel for certain that they are out of danger until that happens. So that anxiety and the tension of what exactly the damage that this storm is bringing to this part of North Carolina is still sinking in. And many people coming to terms with what it is that theyre dpopg to be dealing with here in the weeks ahead. Ed lavandera, cnn. And take a look at this road that has been washed away. The governor warns people to stay off the roads as much as possible. And this is why. Much of the state is dealing with rising floodwaters from florence. A woman in spring lake, North Carolina, did drive on the roads there. She ended up losing control of her car when she hit water. The car was swept off the road into the woods. The driver did manage to kick out a window and escape. The water is so high that it drains my car, drains the battery, everything. So i call my cousin and am like, hey, can you come and get me. Then the water keeps building up its like titanic stuff. You could see the water coming up. So im like, boom, and pushed the window out. As i pushed the window out and tried to swim out, the current just takes me down. Reporter how far from the main road are you . Far. Far. At least a half mile. Officials have warned citizens to stay off the roads because that very thing can happen quite easily. Well, the town of lumberton, North Carolina, is especially vulnerable to flooding. And florence presents a huge challenge. Officials there say First Responders have been rescuing people nonstop from the rising floodwaters. Our Polo Sandoval has that part of the story. Reporter we have been seeing today so far as to the situation there along the river that it continues to worsen, something similarly to what i witnessed two years ago when Hurricane Matthew made for an extremely dangerous situation in the same area where many people lost their homes. We are seeing, we have been witnessing the lumber river continue to rise. Currently flowing at 17. 5 feet. And it is still going up, expected to crest possibly tomorrow. Still hassed a least 7 more feet to go still has at least 7 more feet to go according to my colleagues today as we traveled. Its been a while, at least i cant remember the last time i saw water, floodwaters rise so quickly in neighborhoods and in businesses. Some of the footage were showing you is some of the footage we shot off our vehicle with some of the equipment we have, especially for this vehicle, to be able to drive through the vehicles. But eventually it did get simply too dangerous, so we turned back. Thats what authorities recommend the people do, simply stay indoors. There is something that authorities have been noticing lately, and that is people assumed the worst is over because theres no more high winds. So many of them deciding to perhaps leave shelters. Authorities saying it is not a good idea. There are several rescues that have already happened in lumberton. Hundreds, in fact, according to authorities. And they will continue into the night as the lumber river continues to rise. Again, the storm is affecting both North Carolina and South Carolina. We turn to myrtle beach in South Carolina where some say theres not much damage, but worse flooding is likely to come. A few hours ago scott maclaine and his team drove around to show you the conditions there. Myrtle beach has not seen much in flooding, but if you move south of here, Garden City Beach did see some related to the storm surge. The peak of that surge was around high tide. Around 1 30 today. Thats when water managed to get into some homes near the water. I spoke to one man who was returning from being evacuated. And i asked him about what he found, which was a little bit of water in his front room. Listen. So when you first heard of florence, what was your initial thought . Oh, no, not again. Reporter so far, what is your reaction so far . I am very pleased with what we got. I came down here to see my brand new furnishings wet after replacing them a couple minutes ago. And i replaced the heat pump, so im pleased with how it turned out. Reporter the big story here in South Carolina is going to be flooding over the next couple of days in places like conway, about 50 miles inland from where we are. The river there is expected to have recordsetting flooding. That may not come until wednesday, thursday or beyond. And Karen Maginnis is joining us from the Severe Weather center. Karen, you warned of the catastrophic flooding. It seems that is what is happening. Yes. And it is ironic that the National Hurricane center was just sent out a 5 00 a. M. Advisory that said this is the last advisory they are sending out on now, tropical depression florence. But that doesnt mean the story is over by any stretch of the imagination. We knew there would be epic catastrophic flooding. And, indeed, across coastal North Carolina. Thats been the case where rainfall totals have been staggering. Well, the winds associated with florence now down below Tropical Storm strength. So its a tropical depression. But take a look at some of the rainfall totals. Swansboro just below cape lookout. And the rainfall total there shattered any previous record. They saw over 30 inches of rainfall. Myrtle beach saw just over 7 1 2 inches of rainfall. This is a multiday event. But the stories coming out of North Carolina, even in the longterm, are going to be staggering. I mentioned people are so concerned about their homes being destroyed. Their businesses, their livly hoods livelihoods, agriculture, livestock, the roads have been so compromised, if not damaged or destroyed. But still this long fetch of moisture still being drawn up from theed a land tick from theed a land from the atlantic and moving across the west. If it does, the rainfall is going to be heavy at well. So natalie, the story is not over, even though the National Hurricane center says we have sent out the last advisory. We all understand this is not it. Yes, absolutely. Still need to be very careful. Thank you, karen. Appreciate it. Another major storm is planned for the western hemisphe hemisphere.

More than 100,000 people have been evacuated in hong kong. Residents stay inside as strong winds and heavy rain tore off roofs, snapped trees and downed power lines. But after the worst apparentlies paed through, some people worst apparently passed through, some went outside to swim in the streets. Others traveled to hong kong just for the storm. Translator i wanted to come here and see how severe the typhoon is. But now they came here to the pier, it is not as wild as i had expected. Well, i came here to actually catch the typhoon. I have, like, a helmet with a camera mount. And i have my waterproof gear for catching good footage of the storm. Our Kristie Lu Stout is out there. You have been out there for a while getting blown around. Are conditions Getting Better . We just saw some people heading outside. Some people took a little swim in the floodwater. Thats crazy. Reporter yeah, absolutely. It feels like conditions are starting to improve a little bit as typhoon mangkhut continues to sweep past hong kong. It is continuing to rain, not the pounding we were experiencing earlier in the day. Theres a little bit of wind, but not the major gusts of wind we were experiencing firsthand and being confirmed by the hong kong observatory. At one point, winds up to 230 to 240 kilometers clocked here in hong kong, that means the threat of storm surge. Victoria harbor as well as peak storm surge reported in outlying and lowlying areas of hong kong. No stranger to typhoons. We experience typhoons every storm season, but mangkhut is the most powerful storm of the year. And the meteorologists here in hong kong were warning of this being one of the most powerful storms to hit hong kong since recording typhoon activity five decades ago. The danger is not over yet. As the rains continue to pick up here, we know mangkhut is a rainmaker. At the peak, it has the rain bands about 900 kilometers wide. This thing is going to churn up more rain, and that will introduce the risk of landslides and flash flooding. We have been monitoring social media activity. And we are still getting pictures of some flooding in areas, for example, here in hong kong in the southern and eastern part. Were finding to continue to report on that as well as the aftermath of the storm. So keep it here for cnn. Well keep you updated on all elements of the story. Back to you, natalie in the newsroom. Kristie, thank you so much. And my colleague spoke to James Reynolds earlier who is in the philippines right now following the typhoon. Heres how he sees it and how it impacted the philippines. Reporter hi, it has been an exhausting and long 48 hours here. The storm absolutely battered the Northern Area of this city and all the way up to the coast. Ferocious winds hit in the early hours of saturday morning. And today i drove from the extreme north coast down to the main coast to check it out, and there was damage to buildings, power lines blocking the roads, trees down, power lines everywhere, a real mess right now, anna. What is the biggest problem . Obviously, where the storm made landfall, thousands of homes were destroyed. And now were looking at your picture where is the winds and the rain have devastated, obviously, certain parts. But what are the major problems . Is it flooding . Is it landslides . Reporter right now from what i saw, the flooding situation wasnt too bad in the area. Theres a lot of wind damage as the storm made landfall as a category 5 typhoon. So all the cell phone towers have been knocked out. Obviously, electric is down over large portion of the country up here. But right now, the damage i saw earlier was created by the wasnt. James, the people you have spoken to, did they heed warnings and evacuate and get out of harms way . Or did they decide to sit and wait . Reporter well, the reality of a storm leaving the philippines is that not everyone has the means to get out of the way when. Many people live in shacks and huts, and im sure that was repeated across a large portion of the country as well. So it remains to be seen just how many people have been hurt. Yeah, were getting conflicting reports. There are some Government Agencies reporting as many as 25 deaths. The official death toll still remains at two. What are you hearing from the officials . Well, unfortunately, i havent been here that long. But this is mostly because of the the people cant talk to each other. People are trying to contact their loved ones with no success. I dont think the government will be having issues communicating with people and getting in touch with regional towns. But i think it will be a while until this clears out. So many areas are still cut off. Charles reynolds, many thanks for your update. So we just saw hong kong threatened, china is next, and we just saw what happened in the philippines. So yet again, another deadly typhoon. Karen maginnis is back with more on this. Karen . We look at the satellite imagery and the winds associated with typhoon mangkhut is now at 90 miles an hour. The equivalent of a category 1 hurricane. But boy, the last couple of hours, some of the wind gusts reported around hong kong, right around 173 Kilometers Per Hour or just 100 miles per hour. But with gusts at 220 Kilometers Per Hour. And now that seems like it has eased up, but theres still a storm surge that could be 3 to 4 meters high. We have seen lots of waves crashing ashore. The airport pretty much was at a standstill. We were looking at flight tracker. And there were no flights landing or taking off. The Major International carriers, korean, singapore, delta, we were they all had flights canceled. But it looks like that may be tapering off. Still kind of a rain shield around this region. And gusty winds, some occasional heavy rainfall. So that t10 alert is in place because the danger is not over. But this system is going to be ringing itself out over the next several days across South Central china. Theres the wind gusts reported here so far, but looking to the interior, its going to weaken rather rapidly. The call centers, people calling for help, has been overloaded. There was also the coastal dangers. Also the shipping channels, one of the worlds busiest shipping channel is there in victoria harbor. With wind gusts like that, it made it for very treacherous conditions. The Hong Kong International airport, the third busiest in the world, has already seen 124 millimeters of rainfall. Its not finished yet, but that gives you an idea how stragerring the precipitation is associated with the outer bands of what used to be super typhoon mangkhut that moved across china and is wreak havoc there. But for hong kong, along the pearl river delta, natalie, 120 Million People live in that delta. Its one of the densest populations in the world. And they all got to heed this warning. Okay, thank you. And a man died from a suspected shark bite. And shark sightings are on the rise in the area. Reporter jim smith from wbc has more about it. All of a sudden somebody yells, shark shark there were a ton of people asking for help. Reporter a nightmare at a beach
