Officials in North Carolina say heavy rain and flooding from the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal forced dozens of people to flee their homes.

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

Tropical Storm Chantal has now been downgraded to a tropical depression after making landfall early Sunday. The storm made landfall near Litchfield Beach, South Carolina, according to the National Hurricane Center. Its maximum sustained winds have since decreased to 35 mph. Chantal is currently moving to the north at 9 mph.
