THIS is the shocking moment looters raided a flood hit store as Storm Florence continues to batter the east coast of America.
Police in Wilmington said five people were arrested for breaking into the Dollar General Store and a nighttime curfew has been put in place.
Officials have warned “the worst is yet to come” from a storm that has already killed at least 17 people, as rivers inland were likely to flood.
Local news station WECT footage showed people carrying items out of the store.
Reporter Chelsea Donovan tell them: “Hey guys, you know you’re looting, right? You know you’re stealing?”
Florence was forecast to drop another five to 10 inches of rain in North Carolina, bringing rainfall totals in some inland areas to 15 to 20 inches, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The most rain so far from Florence was 33.9 inches in Swansboro, North Carolina.
In Fayetteville, North Carolina, authorities told thousands of residents near the Cape Fear River and Little River to get out of their homes by Sunday afternoon because of the flood risk.
Mayor Mitch Colvin said: “If you are refusing to leave during this mandatory evacuation, you need to do things like notify your legal next of kin because the loss of life is very, very possible,”
“The worst is yet to come.”
A total of about 761,000 homes and businesses were without power on Sunday in North and South Carolina and surrounding states.
Authorities have been forced to rescue people by boat and even airlifted 50 stranded people in North Carolina.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
