Floodwaters Force Mebane Woman Away From Home
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA, JUL 7 – Tropical Storm Chantal caused record river crests and prompted over 100 road closures along with thousands losing power, officials said.
- On Sunday night, heavy rain from Tropical Depression Chantal caused significant flooding in Alamance County, including Mebane where Tracey Paylor's apartment flooded.
- Chantal made landfall early Sunday near Litchfield Beach, South Carolina and moved northeast, spreading rain across the mid-Atlantic with localized amounts up to 8 to 10 inches.
- Flooding led to the shutdown of all lanes on Interstate 85 and Interstate 40 near Durham, caused power outages affecting around 7,900 customers in Alamance County, and resulted in emergency declarations across Alamance, Moore, and Orange regions.
- Paylor repeatedly contacted 911, unaware that emergency responders faced challenges reaching her due to flooding; she expressed that she required assistance and support while describing being trapped as water infiltrated her apartment through the walls.
- The flooding led to record river crests, widespread road flooding, ongoing power outages, and officials urged residents to avoid travel due to elevated flash flood risks through Monday morning.
