CNN - Historic rainfall in North Carolina has flooded homes, stranded vehicles and forced water rescues. "It's probably the worst flooding that any of us have seen in Carolina Beach," Town Manager Bruce Oakley told CNN of the tourist town not far from Wilmington. Carolina Beach was placed under a state of emergency Monday after a "historic" 18 inches of rain fell there in 12 hours at one station, a once-in-1,000-year rainfall event, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington. Flood watches remain for over 10 million people across North Carolina and eastern Virginia, which will begin to expire throughout today, including in Charlotte, Raleigh and Richmond.
