Severe Flooding in North Carolina After Tropical Depression Chantal

Tropical Depression Chantal has caused widespread flooding across North Carolina, leading to at least five confirmed deaths and over 200 water rescues. The storm dumped record-breaking rainfall, reaching over 10 inches in central NC, which prompted emergency declarations and numerous road closures. Residents in areas like Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Mebane faced dangerous conditions as waterways overflowed, damaging homes and infrastructure. Gov. Stein provided updates as concerns grew over breached dams and ongoing flooding threats, with impacts expected to continue as Chantal moves towards the Mid-Atlantic. Flash flood watches remain in effect as the remnants of the storm pose additional risks.
