North Carolina rainfall totals from Chantal with data from 50+ sites
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — After Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall near Litchfield, South Carolina, around 5 a.m. early Sunday morning, the storm turned northward — with a major portion of rain dumped to the west of the circulation.
Chantal weakened to a tropical depression and generally went north, crossing over Raleigh, but the western location of the storm's intense rainfall cells took the flooding over an area generally south of the Triangle, then northwest to Moore County, and then northward.
The path of the storm — along with the rotation of torrential rainfall repeatedly over some areas — took the worst of Chantal over Lee, Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Person counties.
The track and continued rotation of sheets of rain meant massive amounts of water in a generally vertical band running just west of Wake County and east of Guilford County.
