FEMA is on the ground in New Hanover County, North Carolina, where the city of Wilmington and other towns are still difficult to access because of road conditions. President Trump visited both North and South Carolina on Wednesday as rising rivers remain a threat.

Here & Now's Lisa Mullins checks in with Tim Markley, superintendent of New Hanover County Schools, about when students could be able to return to class.

"We have 44 schools. Nearly all of them had some kind of water damage, from minor to extensive," Markley says.
