Alberto subtropical storm claimed lives of two in North Carolina

At least two people lost their lives in the United States after the raging subtropical storm Alberto has hit the country’s East Coast, media reported on Tuesday.

The incident occurred in the state of North Carolina, after the storm broke a tree which has slammed into a car, killing the passengers, the NBC broadcaster reported.

Alberto is the first named storm of the 2018 hurricane season. It formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday and threatens to batter the Gulf of Mexico coast with heavy rains and storm surge.

A number of US states such Alabama and Florida, declared the state of emergency over Alberto last week, while over 5,000 people were evacuated in Cuba on Monday.
