Photos: 'Historic' rainfall floods parts of North Carolina after storm

USA TODAY

A potential tropical system drenched parts of North Carolina in "historic rainfall," inundating highways and stranding drivers, as flash flood watches continue in the southeastern part of the state while severe thunderstorms could drop heavy rainfall on the High Plains into the Rockies on Tuesday. Parts of southeastern Virginia and North Carolina were still under a flood watch on Tuesday morning after the storm system dropped levels of rain seen once every 1,000 years on some areas in southeastern North Carolina. Carolina Beach, a coastal town around 10 miles south of Wilmington, saw more than 18 inches within 12 hours, according to the National Weather Service.
