Flood Warning Issued As North Carolina River Rises to 45 Feeteveral rivers across North Carolina remain flooded on Thursday, including one river that was measured at 45 feet, amid torrential rains that have battered the East Coast for days.
The flooding threat across the region could persist into the weekend as slow-moving thunderstorms continue to dump rain on the region, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski told Newsweek.
Why It Matters
This week's flood warnings mark the latest chapter in a period of intense rainstorms that have affected North Carolina, as well as much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
Earlier in the week, heavy rain from Tropical Depression Chantal caused rivers to rise rapidly and flooding roads. The National Weather Service (NWS) has continued to monitor river levels and issue alerts as water moves downstream, with warnings covering both minor and moderate flood threats across several counties. Residents are reminded that flooding can become life-threatening, especially for drivers entering flooded roadways...............
