Hurricane Florence ripped through North and South Carolina over the weekend, creating catastrophic flooding and record-setting rainfall.

The storm left at least 17 people dead, and has knocked out power for over 1 million residents in the region.

Flash flood warnings are in effect in across large portions of southern and western North Carolina, as well as portions of northeast South Carolina and southwest Virginia.

Once-bustling city centers in North Carolina and South Carolina have become deserted and inundated with water after enduring Florence’s winds and floods.

Take a look at the destruction through these before-and-after photos captured around the two states.
