Tropical Depression Chantal brings major flooding to North Carolina
As Tropical Depression Chantal moved over North Carolina on Sunday night, the storm flooded cities and towns, closed hundreds of roads and left dozens of residents stranded, prompting water rescues and evacuations.
After making landfall early Sunday in South Carolina, the storm struck a narrow part of central North Carolina as a tropical depression, delivering two months' worth of rain and inundating Chapel Hill, Durham and the surrounding towns. Four tornadoes were also reported in the state, including one that damaged hangars and aircraft at Raleigh Executive Jetport.
