The heavy rains from Hurricane FRAN resulted in major river flooding in eastern North Carolina, in west central Virginia and in parts of the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. River flood warnings remained in effect through much of the weekend. In North Carolina major river flooding is occurring on the Cape Fear, Tar and Neuse Rivers.
Western North Carolina saw two successive tropical storms resulting in extensive flooding. The first storm, having originally impacted the coast of Alabama on the 5th and 6th of July, dumped excessive rainfall on the mountain and foothill region of North Carolina. This storm was not enough to cause flooding, but it did soak the soil and cause a rising of streams and rivers.
