Hurricane Matthew Hits Georgia and South Carolina
By Saturday morning, the storm’s winds were barely strong enough to qualify it as a hurricane, but flooding was still a problem."At least 11 deaths were attributed to a storm that left more than a million people without power, and had prompted officials to urge around three million people to evacuate. In South Carolina, the cities of Charleston and North Charleston were still under curfews Saturday night, and a number of North Carolina cities, especially Fayetteville, were dealing with substantial flooding."

After Water Fiasco, Trust of Officials Is in Short Supply in Flint
Residents’ fears over using the water have scarcely subsided, even as lead pipes are slowly being replaced.
"Laura
Sullivan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Kettering University
in Flint who has worked closely with the authorities on solving the
crisis, was among the sick, hospitalized for several days in July with
shigellosis.
She washes her hands frequently and has not been able to definitively pinpoint the cause of her infection.
But
Ms. Sullivan, too, is afraid of the water, and she said convincing
others in Flint that it is fit to drink is a long way off.
“It’s
difficult to convince people once they’re aware that it has been unsafe
that it is now safe,” she said. “The messenger that says the water is
safe can’t come from the state government. They’ve already ruined their
potential to be someone who can be trusted.”"
