The National Hurricane Center stated that while Hurricane Matthew is no longer classified a hurricane, it is still considered a post-tropical cyclone. With maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, the same as a category 1 hurricane, the situation continues to be dangerous. Currently, North Carolina is feeling the brunt of the remaining storm. The eastern part of the state will experience devastating flooding for several more days as rivers top their banks.
