At a Glance Flooding from Florence's heavy rain will be ongoing for many days to come in southeast North Carolina.

Aerial imagery from NOAA is giving a before and after comparison of the flooding.

Heavy rain from Florence has sent rivers over their banks to major and even record high flood levels in southeastern North Carolina, inundating homes and businesses throughout several communities.

Special cameras aboard an NOAA King Air aircraft have been gathering aerial imagery over the past few days to show some of the hardest hit areas.

"This imagery provides a cost-effective way to better understand the damage sustained to both property and the environment," NOAA says.

Here's a before and after comparison showing a few of the locations with heavy flooding where NOAA's aircraft has surveyed through Tuesday.

In the first comparison above, major flooding is seen in the communities of Hancheys Store and Pasley.

Below you can see an airport and several other structures flooded near Wallace just west of Interstate 40 exit 385.

This next comparison is not part of NOAA's post-storm survey, but rather satellite imagery from NASA.

You can see how swollen the various waterways of southeastern North Carolina have become when compared to before Florence's arrival.

NOAA is still surveying the aftermath of Florence and any additional imagery updates will be posted at this link.
