Flooding in North Carolina prompted water rescues in Chapel Hill and other parts of the state, which saw the Haw River crest at 32.5 feet early Monday.

Two tropical storms have led to deadly inland flooding in the United States already this season, underscoring how dangerous water can be.

The storm flooded roads, downed trees and stranded residents across the central part of the state. It is headed northeast toward Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
