Downed power lines in Raleigh were just part of the storm damage.
Raleigh, N.C. — Rain, rain and more rain. A flash flood warning was issued for parts of the Triangle, including Durham and Orange Counties Thursday afternoon as the torrential rain swept across central North Carolina. Downed power lines on Millbrook Road in Raleigh were one example of the damage the storms are leaving in their wake. As we get into the afternoon Thursday, storms are expected to get heavier. The rain is expected to continue overnight, WRAL meteorologist Kat Campbell said. „Some of this rainfall is coming down very, very quickly,“ Campbell said. Thursday morning, a flash flood watch was issued for Wake County and points north, south and east. The watch is in effect until Friday at 6 a.m. The threat includes anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain and the possibility of flash flooding. The flash flood watch is also in effect for most of the WRAL viewing area.
