USA – Millions under flood threat in Carolinas

> From the WeatherWatch archives

The Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic states are bracing for a round of strong thunderstorms and the threat of flash flooding.

A system of storms carrying heavy rain that left hundreds of roads flooded in eastern Tennessee over the weekend is slowing moving northeast.
 
Nearly 6 million people are under flash flood watches and warnings as the storm slowly moves northeast, the National Weather Service said.
 
There’s a high risk of flash flooding from Charleston, SC to Fayetteville, NC where residents could see 150mm to 250mm fall through Tuesday morning, CNN meteorologist Michael Guy said.
 
Some isolated areas could see even higher amounts of rain.
