A TV news anchor and a cameraman have died after a falling tree fell on their car while reporting on the arrival of Storm Alberto in North Carolina. The state's governor urged residents to exercise caution as rains from the subtropical depression spread into his and other southern states, noting the deaths of the two broadcast journalists from WYFF-TV. They were killed on Monday while covering the very fringes of a large storm system whose core made landfall hundreds of miles away on the northern Gulf Coast. Authorities said a tree became uprooted from rain-soaked soil and toppled on the news team's SUV, killing the two instantly.
