At least 15 people have been killed due to Tropical Storm Florence which has devastated the Carolinas and continues to pose a threat to those in its path.
It's been reported that so far 10 have been killed in North Carolina beginning Friday when hurricane-turned-tropical depression Florence first made land fall.
The latest death came Sunday when 23-year-old father Michael Dalton Prince was riding in an SUV that lost control and flipped on a flooded road in Georgetown County, South Carolina.
The driver and another passenger escaped, while Prince was trapped inside and drowned after the truck landed upside down in a flooded ditch.

Amber Dawn Lee, 61, was the first reported death from the storm Friday in South Carolina
Amber Dawn Lee of Union, South Carolina, was driving her pick up truck around 9.30pm on the Gaffney Highway.
Neighbor Joel Morris said he saw the tree fall into the road - brought down by strong winds - and tried to signal to Lee to turn around.
Morris said he stood behind the large fallen tree, flashing his flashlight, and though he got one motorist to turn around he was unable to get Lee to stop.
He said the roof of Lee's pickup slammed into the tree - which authorities say was suspended about six feet in the air.
The front of the truck was thrown into the air before crashing back down. Lee was pronounced dead at the scene.
Around the same time Friday night, Lesha Murphy-Johnson, 41, and her seven-month-old son Adam were trapped inside their home in Wilmington, North Carolina, after a tree fell onto their roof.
Firefighters frantically tried to lift the tree so they could escape, but were unable to do so, kneeling in a circle of prayer after it became apparent there was nothing further they could do.

Authorities confirmed Sunday that a married South Carolina couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning from running a generator inside.
Mark Carter King, 63, and his wife Debra Collins Rion, 61, of Loris, South Carolina, were killed by inhaling carbon monoxide, authorities said.
Their bodies were found in their Loris home Saturday afternoon however, police said they likely died the day before as the heavy rains and winds from Florence were moving onshore.
King worked as a sales consultant for Buick and the couple leave behind children.

Other North Carolina fatalities also include three who died 'due to flash flooding and swift water on roadways,' the Duplin County Sheriff's Office reported.

Emergency crews were unable to get to her because of a downed tree in the road after 911 was called to the home.
Operations were stopped when a tree branch fell, shattering the windshield of the machine used by emergency crews to clear a path to get to the woman.
In Wayne County, an 81-year-old man died when he fell and struck his head while packing to evacuate Friday.

'This storm has never been more dangerous than it is right now,' he added.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
