Tropical Storm Chantal crosses southeast US coast
Tropical Storm Chantal is forecast to bring heavy rains as it moves inland across northeast South Carolina. Tropical storm warnings were issued for portions of the two Carolinas, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said on Sunday. The storm was about 112km east of Charleston, South Carolina, early on Sunday, and 136km southwest of Wilmington, North Carolina. Its maximum sustained winds were clocked at 80km/h and it was moving north at 13km/h. Rain bands from Chantal were moving onshore, the hurricane centre said, with flash floods an increasing concern. Heavy rain that could lead to flash flooding was forecast for parts of North Carolina through Monday. South Carolina's Emergency Management division had warned residents earlier of the possibility of isolated tornadoes along the coast and of minor coastal flooding. It also warned drivers not to venture on water-covered roads or around road-closure signs where flooding occurred.
