North Carolina, Chantal and flooding
Digest more
Tropical Storm Chantal formed from an area of low pressure near Florida and the coast of Georgia early on the Fourth of July. The storm briefly intensified over warm Gulf Stream waters and brought tropical storm rainbands over the beaches from Charleston, South Carolina northward to the Outer Banks in North Carolina through Sunday afternoon.
Flash flooding from Tropical Depression Chantal caused severe disruption in central North Carolina, prompting evacuations in Mebane and Chapel Hill.
As Tropical Depression Chantal moved through North Carolina on Sunday, many residents were left behind with flooded roads and wind damage.
