The NHC issued tropical storm warnings for coastal areas ranging from South Santee River, South Carolina, to Surf City, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall on the east coast of the US \/ PHOTO: Screenshot X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWeather authorities warned of the possibility of flash flooding in low-lying areas of northeastern South Carolina and much of North Carolina, particularly in coastal and flat areas.<\/p>\n
Total rainfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) are expected, with some locations receiving up to 6 inches (15 cm).<\/p>\n
This level of precipitation could saturate drainage systems and cause power outages or road blockages.<\/p>\n
In addition, dangerous marine conditions are forecast along the coast, with violent swells and rip currents that can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n
Coastal areas from northeast Florida to the mid-Atlantic states could be affected by this phenomenon during the next 24 to 48 hours.<\/p>\n

Wind gusts of 25 to 30 miles per hour were recorded, creating a tense environment for residents and tourists.<\/p>\n
By Saturday afternoon, prior to impact, the system had already begun to generate heavy rains in the coastal plains of the Carolinas, a situation that worsened during the night with the direct entry of the tropical cyclone.<\/p>\n
