Bonnie drenchs NC coast as tropical storm weakens
Bonnie, downgraded to a tropical storm, drenched the North Carolina coast with over 10 inches of rain in places while forecasters said severe flooding was unlikely. Winds dropped from 115 mph to 65 mph as the storm moved offshore, leaving few deaths or major damages and prompting relief from officials. Authorities noted dry soil and flat terrain helped absorb rainfall and that the Carolinas fared better than feared.
