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.

Tropical Storm Chantal has been downgraded to a tropical depression but is raising concerns of flash flooding in central North Carolina and south-central Virginia.

Tropical Storm Chantal began to weaken as it barreled inland across South Carolina early Sunday, July 6, after making landfall, though the storm still brought a threat of flash flooding, possible tornadoes and dangerous rip current conditions.
