CNN: Woman and Baby in Wilmington, N.C. Confirmed as First Hurricane Florence Fatalities

EXCERPT:

BALDWIN: "Let me cut in. I want you to listen. This is the information we just have gotten. I don’t know if you have this. My executive producer got in my ear and told me that the mother and that baby in that home have been killed. So we have two storm related fatalities there in Wilmington, North Carolina. Do you know, was there anyone else in the home?"

TODD: "Right, Brooke. They’re going to bring those two out then at this time, looks like actually you can see it is a bit of an obstructed view. We saw a stretcher being carried to that ambulance. Confirming then as you did that the lady and the child in there were deceased. We had gotten unconfirmed reports of that, we couldn’t confirm it, now we can. The first known fatalities of the storm."

BALDWIN: "It is the mother and the baby in that home. Obviously our hearts go out to this family. We have also learned that the father has been taken to the hospital, so that’s the status in Wilmington. So tragically, we have the first two fatalities in Wilmington related to hurricane Florence."
