More than 5 million people are under flood alerts in North Carolina and Virginia Sunday with nearly 2 million under Flash Flood Warnings as Chantal makes landfall.

Homes, businesses and hundreds of roads have been flooded in central North Carolina after rounds of heavy rain from Tropical Depression Chantal washed out streets, sent rivers into major flood stage and prompted water rescues Sunday.

Storms from Tropical Depression Chantal hit North Carolina, causing power outages, flooding, and damage. Flood watches stay in place through Monday.
