Mike Stanley sent us this picture of the Bogue Inlet Pier. If you look closely you can see that two sections are missing from the pier.

He said “We will try to get the shore half open for fall fishing. We will repair the 2 lost sections this coming winter.” #Florence #ncwx pic.twitter.com/ACFrpOuLRy

-- Oriental, North Carolina, has seen over 20 inches of rain, and 23.04 inches of rain have fallen so far in Newport and Morehead City, about an inch shy of the all-time rain record of 24.06 inches in the state set by Hurricane Floyd in 1999.

-- Florence, with winds of 70 mph, is moving inland very slowly at just 3 mph Friday afternoon. The storm was about 25 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, shortly before 5 p.m. The massive storm stretches 450 miles wide.

-- On Sunday, 4 to 8 inches of rain is expected in the Appalachians of North Carolina and southern Virginia.

-- Storm surge is also a major concern, potentially reaching 11 feet in parts of North Carolina. The storm surge threat is greatest between Cape Fear and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. \"People do not live and survive to tell the tale about what their experience is like with storm surge,\" FEMA administrator Brock Long told \"Good Morning America.\"
