A local television reporter has jumped in to help rescue a dog from the floodwaters of Hurricane Florence, interrupting a live broadcast to assist.

Julie Wilson, a reporter for ABC affiliate WTVD, was broadcasting on Facebook Live on Friday from New Bern, North Carolina when she aided in the Rottweiler's rescue from a flooded home.

'Do you think that is safe,' Wilson asks the woman trying to bring the dog to safety, who said her name was Tasha.

'It's my daughter's therapy dog. I have no choice,' Tasha responded.

The dog had been injured, according to Tasha.

When Tasha estarts having difficulty maneuvering the animal through the water, Wilson picks up the dog and has Tasha hold the camera.

'You are OK baby girl,' Wilson said while carrying the dog to safety. 'Nobody is leaving the dog in this mess. That's what we are doing out here.'

As Tasha and her dog begin walking away in shallower waters, Tasha tells Wilson that her son is still inside trying to save one more.

'They are trying to get out folks. They are doing their best,' Wilson said before continuing to report on the live stream.

By 11pm on Friday, now tropical storm Florence was located over extreme eastern South Carolina, the National Weather Service said in a flash bulletin.

Radar data indicated that maximum sustained winds have decreased to near near 65 mph with higher gusts. 

Gradual weakening is forecast while Florence moves farther inland during the next couple of days, and it is likely to weaken to a tropical depression by Saturday night.

However with rainfall totals exceeding 23 inches in some areas already, the threat of deadly flooding persists.

In New Bern, swift-water rescue teams had saved more than 360 people in New Bern by midafternoon Friday, and another 140 were still waiting for help, a city spokeswoman said. 

The city was placed under mandatory evacuation orders prior to the storm, but many there and elsewhere chose to disregard the order.

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.
