North Carolina flooding from Chantal forces dozens from homes
Remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal dumped 3 to 8 inches of rain across central North Carolina, triggering multiple water rescues in Alamance Orange Chatham and Durham counties. About 60 residents were displaced as 120 roads closed and emergency declarations were issued. An 83 year old Pittsboro woman died when her car was swept off a rural Chatham County road. Rescue crews saved dozens, including Alesia Ray in Chapel Hill after five hours on a flooded staircase. The storm caused widespread damage at shopping centers in Chapel Hill and flooded properties along Lake Hyco in Person County. Rivers rose to record levels, with Eno at 25.6 feet and Haw River at 32.5 feet. Chantal weakened after landfall and was offshore by Monday afternoon with dangerous surf forecasts along the coast.
