Hurricane Matthew Death Toll Tops 30 in United States
-----------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the death toll from Hurricane Matthew in the United States
has risen to 34 people, as North Carolina is hit with widespread
flooding that has submerged cars, forced the closure of major
interstates and knocked out electricity for more than 280,000 homes and
businesses. At least 2,000 people have been rescued from the
floodwaters, some by helicopter. This comes as North Carolina Governor
Pat Mc Crory has confirmed a North Carolina Highway Patrol officer shot
and killed a man amid the flooding on Monday night. The victim's
identity has not been released.
