  STORYLINE:

  The National Hurricane Center said "catastrophic" freshwater flooding was expected over portions of the Carolinas as Hurricane Florence inches closer to the U.S. East Coast. 

  Areas of coastal North Carolina began to experience flooding on Thursday.

  The now Category 1 storm's intensity diminished as it neared land, with winds dropping to 90 mph (135 kph) by nightfall. But that, combined with the storm's slowing forward movement and heavy rains, had Gov. Roy Cooper warning of an impending disaster.

  As of 2 a.m. EDT (0600 GMT), Florence was centered about 35 miles (55 kilometres) east of Wilmington, North Carolina. Its forward movement increased slightly to 6 mph (9 kph). 

  Hurricane-force winds extended 90 miles (150 kilometres) from its centre, and tropical-storm-force winds up to 195 miles (315 kilometres).

  Forecasters said the combination of a life-threatening storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline.
