Flooding From Chantal's Remnants Forces Dozens To Flee Homes In NC

5 hours ago Officials in North Carolina say a woman was killed when floodwaters from the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal swept her car from a rural road and dozens of people were forced to flee their homes by floodwaters. The Chapel Hill Fire Department and neighboring agencies completed more than 50 water rescues, many of them in areas where floodwaters entered or threatened to enter apartments. In Orange County, the possibility of the failure of the Lake Michael Dam prompted officials to issue a voluntary evacuation for areas downstream. Chatham County authorities say they're searching for two canoers. North Carolina Emergency Management says parts of central North Carolina experienced hazardous conditions overnight including 3 to 8 inches of rain and possible tornadoes.
