Severe Flooding Across North Carolina and Mid-Atlantic Due to Tropical Storm Chantal
Tropical Storm Chantal has caused significant flooding and damage across North Carolina and is now moving into the Mid-Atlantic region. In North Carolina, parts of I-40 and I-85 were closed due to flooding, leading to declarations of emergency in areas such as Orange and Moore counties. Reports indicate that flash floods have displaced over 60 residents in Orange County, prompting evacuations. The storm has also caused road damage and triggered water rescues, particularly near the Eno River in Durham County. As Chantal weakens to a tropical depression, heavy rainfall continues to be a concern, with predictions of further impacts in states including Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey as the remnants of the storm move north.
