Tropical Depression Chantal Causes Widespread Flooding Mid-Atlantic, Carolinas

News summary

Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, early Sunday, bringing heavy rainfall and widespread flooding to the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic states. The storm has since weakened to a tropical depression, but it continues to pose flooding risks, particularly in central North Carolina where some areas received up to two months' worth of rain in a short period, prompting numerous water rescues. The storm is expected to move offshore by Monday evening and continue dissipating over the northern Atlantic. Flash flooding remains a concern in parts of Orange, Alamance, and Chatham counties in North Carolina, as well as portions of the Delmarva, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania. No other tropical developments are expected in the Atlantic basin at this time. Authorities and relief organizations are responding to ongoing flood impacts, particularly in Texas, where a separate storm caused deadly flooding.
