After being cut off for days, Wilmington, North Carolina, opened three more routes into the port city over the weekend. However, the Cape Fear River is predicted to rise to record levels in the next few days, the News and Observer reported. Three more feet of water could flood downtown Wilmington streets.

Officials announced good news Sunday night: Interstate 95 had been reopened in North Carolina. The highly traveled roadway was closed for days, prompting authorities to urge drivers to drive around the state and instead take I-75 as a detour through Tennessee and Georgia.

The death toll from the storm stands at 44 with 33 deaths in North Carolina, nine in South Carolina and two in Virginia.
