Hurricane Matthew may have left the Atlantic area and have decreased into a Category 1 type. But its downpour over North Carolina on Saturday left widespread flooding for the whole of its eastern portion.

Its record-breaking rainfall of 8 to 20 inches centered on Tar Heel State and southeast Virginia causing fears of life-threatening flash floods. Since Friday, Hurricane Matthew has been hurtling out of the sea and into U.S where the eyewall first touches the coastal areas of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina as power outages and flooding in low-lying areas has happened over the weekend.

The hurricane left with 3 dead in North Carolina alone and much of the fatalities have been due to fallen trees and infrastructures when the extreme flooding have weakened its foundation. But a recent report from USA TODAY, coming from a certain Beach in Little Oak Island opposite of Folly Beach city, 16 Civil-era shells were exposed confirming a gun emplacement on the area during the Civil War.

Folly Island has been a historic site for pirates, shipwrecks, and Civil war tools as it has sheltered almost 13,000 troops of the Civil war and has been a strategic base for the Union Battle against Morris Island. Fourteen bodies of the members of 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regimen were also recovered on 1987 as portrayed in the movie "Glory".

Authorities have yet to recover this as high tide has hindered them from doing so, on schedule, they will be detonating the said artilleries on Sunday as reported by Gizmodo. These cannonballs may pose danger to any unprofessional undertakings that may be done to it.

It can be recalled that a Virginia man was killed in 2008 when he was restoring a civil war-era cannonball on his garage, sending shrapnel through a neighbor's porch a quarter mile away.

Nearby communities and even the media were advised to stay out from the detonating area on Sunday, and if the tides are clear, blasting sounds will be heard all over the place.
