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.
On June 23, 2016, a flood hit areas of the U.S. state of West Virginia and nearby parts of Virginia, resulting in 23 deaths. The flooding was the result of 8 to 10 inches of rain falling over a period of 12 hours, resulting in a flood that was among the deadliest in West Virginia history. It is also the deadliest flash flood event in the United States since the 2010 Tennessee floods.
