"Overflowing waste water plants sent more than 31 million gallons of sewage into waterways during last year's Hurricane Harvey."
'A year later, as rain from Hurricane Florence continues to cascade and storm surges lash coastal areas, infrastructure in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia is at risk. '
'"What I took away from Harvey is everything that we knew could happen did happen," former president of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Wayne Klotz told Newsweek. '
'"There's not a lot of bridges waiting to fall down," he told Newsweek. '
'Electricity failures -- or flooding -- could also disable waste water plants, leading to sewage overflows, Klotz said. '
