Overview

  • Thousands of central North Carolina residents remain without power after strong winds from Chantal’s remnants downed trees and damaged Duke Energy lines.
  • The National Weather Service confirmed that a probable tornado damaged two hangars and two aircraft at Sanford’s Raleigh Executive Jetport.
  • Flood watches remain in effect through Monday for Lee, Moore, Orange and Chatham counties due to persistent rainfall.
  • Moore County declared a state of emergency through July 9 to mobilize emergency services and coordinate flood response.
  • Forecasts indicate the remnants will drift northeast into the Mid-Atlantic, potentially extending inland flood risks beyond North Carolina.
