Roy Cooper: ‘There Is Still Time To Get Out and We’re Asking People To Leave’

EXCERPT:

DICKERSON: "North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper joins us now from Raleigh. Good morning, governor. A million people were asked to evacuate; you said, don’t bet your life on riding out the monster. We just heard from a man who is staying put. Is there still time to leave?"
COOPER: "There is still time to leave. The winds may be down a bit, but the one-two intense punches that we are expecting are still there. This storm surge can be deadly, and then the flooding that will come thereafter with rain being measured in feet instead of inches, we know that this is an extremely dangerous situation. And we’re encouraging people not only — you may be putting your life at risk, you’re also putting first responders at risk who may have to come and rescue you. So, yes, there is still time to get out and we’re asking people to leave."
