Team Rubicon volunteers from Utah have returned from a weeklong assignment to the Carolinas to help with cleanup efforts from Hurricane Florence.

Floods usually follow fires, and with as big as the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires were that burned the mountainside in the area last month, the concern is the flooding is going to be devastating.

Less than two weeks ago, residents of Elk Ridge and Woodland Hills were worried about a wildfire approaching their homes. Now, with heavy rain in the forecast, their big fear is flooding and mudslides.

Meteorologist Brett Benson says as of Sunday evening the storm had yet to make landfall, but as soon as it does it will begin to weaken. Remnants of Rosa will then be headed for Utah.

It has been uncomfortable and unsettling enough for evacuees of the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires, who have been able to watch their burning hillsides from a distance.
