Tropical storm Chantal made landfall south of Myrtle Beach before moving inland and causing substantial flooding in North Carolina. The storm resulted in the deaths of two women, one in Orange County and another in Chatham County, as floodwaters swept through the region.

The economic impact has been estimated at $4 to $6 billion, with damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure such as roads and bridges. The event underscores the significant risks posed by tropical storms, even after they lose wind intensity.
