A woman has died in North Carolina after she drove around several barricades and was swept away in the flooding that has followed heavy rains earlier this week.
It’s the second apparent storm-related death in the state.
Flooding continues in more than a dozen counties in the eastern part of the state after storms dumped as much as 8 inches of rain in some places.
Flood warnings were in effect in 16 counties and The American Red Cross has opened a shelter for needing to evacuate.
