Flooding Causes WCTI-TV New Bern NC To Bug Out

A newsroom in New Bern, North Carolina was evacuated while two meteorologists were live on air covering the onslaught of Hurricane Florence.

"We have a situation that has developed here, and that is the water getting close to the building," Donnie Cox, the chief meteorologist for local ABC affiliate WCTI12 in New Bern, North Carolina said during a live broadcast Thursday evening. "The building has been evacuated, but just so you know, we are staying here to keep you updated."

But seconds later in the broadcast, Cox said, "the situation has developed here that our building had to be evacuated and everyone had been asked to leave immediately."

The station moved its coverage to a sister channel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, according to a post on WCTI12's Facebook page.
