A strong low-pressure system has hit the Carolina coast, causing torrential rain, beach erosion, and overwash from Duck, North Carolina, to Charleston.
The storm, which has moved north, has caused severe damage along the coast, including sand-covered highways and major flooding in some regions.
Crews are presently clearing sand from NC Highway 12 on Ocracoke Island, where the storm pushed large waves ashore.
Garden City Beach, South Carolina, was severely flooded as a result of heavy rains.
Georgetown County reported receiving four to eleven inches of rain, transforming roadways into lakes since the water had nowhere to go.
As the storm passes, coastal areas are left to deal with the aftermath, which includes cleanup and damage assessment.
