Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight, an unnamed storm, brought severe rain and winds to the southeastern coast of North Carolina, causing significant flooding and road closures. Carolina Beach recorded 18 inches of rain, and Brunswick County experienced waist-high floodwaters. The storm, with winds up to 40 mph, was not expected to develop into a named tropical storm before moving inland. Despite lacking a central structure to be classified as a tropical storm, it prompted tropical storm warnings and school closures across affected areas. The system is forecasted to continue impacting the Mid-Atlantic with heavy rain and possible tornadoes through Wednesday. Officials have urged residents to stay home and avoid flooded roads.
