Chantal made landfall as a Tropical Storm near Litchfield Beach, South Carolina, around 4:00 a.m. Sunday and carved a path through central North Carolina, where some locations received as much as nine inches of rain within 24 hours.

The storm, which made landfall on Sunday, caused significant flooding that closed roads and stranded drivers. It is heading northeast.

Tropical Storm Chantal weakened into a depression after sweeping inland across South Carolina into eastern North Carolina on Sunday, July 6, though the system still brought a threat of flash flooding and dangerous rip currents.
