Hurricane Helene’s heavy rain flooded roads and forced businesses to close in western North Carolina.
Cary Fire Department’s Swiftwater Rescue Team is one of several local emergency teams deployed to Western NC to help out. Captain Craig McDowell, who is part of the Cary Fire Department’s eight member Swiftwater Team in Caldwell County, said their biggest concern is flash flooding.
In central North Carolina, wind will be the biggest concern Friday. Duke Energy’s Jeff Brooks said with all the rain seen recently, the ground is already saturated. Brooks said crews will be ready to respond to any overnight outages. With the more severe storms to the west, crews are staging in Charlotte and Upstate South Carolina.
South Carolina reports second storm-related death after tree falls on house
Another person in Anderson, South Carolina, died Friday morning in a second fatality attributed to severe weather conditions from Tropical Storm Helene in the state.
The victim died after a tree fell on a home, according to the Anderson County Coroner’s office.
Spokesperson Alyssa Whitfield said the coroner’s office was en route to the second death involving a tree falling onto a residence. Details about the victim were not immediately available.
This is the second reported storm fatality in the state of South Carolina. At least 23 Helene-related deaths have been reported across four states.
Floodwaters continue rising and carrying heavy debris in Asheville
Within hours, floodwaters have gone up several feet in Asheville, North Carolina, inundating cars and pushing large debris through the city, as seen by CNN’s Isabel Rosales.
“With this particular type of flooding, what makes it so tricky is that even when the rain has gone away, as we’re seeing right now, it has really eased up, this flooding is just going to get worse and worse, because all of this water has to go somewhere,” Rosales said.
About 10 miles from the city center, the Swannanoa River has surged to major flood stage. The river, which is normally about 2 to 4 feet deep, surpassed 20 feet on Friday and reached a new record today.
“We could see that the storm drainage system was taken ahead, clearly, overwhelmed by all of this water,” Rosales said, adding the situation will continue to get worse.

After causing at least six deaths in the Southeast, Debby has weakened to a tropical depression and is still dumping rain and threatening tornadoes Thursday afternoon, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Tropical Depression Debby is now centered 45 miles east of Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the center’s 5 p.m. advisory. Debby is moving to the north-northwest at 10 mph and is expected to quickly accelerate over the next 24 hours.
“Heavy rainfall across portions of the Carolinas is expected to persist through today along with areas of considerable flooding,” the hurricane center said. “Heavy rainfall will also result in considerable to locally catastrophic flooding impacts across portions of the Mid-Atlantic states and Northeast through Saturday morning.”
The death toll from the storm rose to six after it spawned a destructive tornado Thursday that killed a man in Lucama, North Carolina. The tornado damaged homes and a school in the area, which is around 35 miles southeast of Raleigh.
Debby’s death toll climbs: One person is dead after a tornado spawned by Debby tore through part of North Carolina’s Wilson County in the earliest hours of Thursday morning, leaving behind damage to a middle school, a church and multiple homes. A man was killed after his home in the town of Lucama collapsed, a county spokesperson told CNN. At least four people in Florida and one in Georgia were also killed by Debby.
• At least a dozen tornadoes confirmed: Debby has whipped up at least a dozen tornadoes as of Thursday that have roared through parts of Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. A tornado in Snow Hill, North Carolina early Thursday was described as “large, extremely dangerous and potentially deadly.” A tornado watch is in effect through 8 p.m. ET for 6.8 million people in parts of eastern North Carolina and southern Virginia, including the cities of Raleigh, Virginia Beach and Richmond.

Disaster Relief: Providing shelter, food and water. A tornado in North Carolina severely damaged a Pfizer plant, damaged several other structures, shut down a major interstate and injured at least 16 people Wednesday afternoon. The tornado was on the ground for 16.5 miles, lasting about 30 minutes, and produced peak winds of 150 mph, an EF-3. The tornado tore through Dortches, Nash County – around 45 miles northeast of Raleigh – and ended nine miles east-northeast of Battleboro in Edgecombe County. The maximum path width was about 600 yards. More than a dozen people were treated for minor injuries in Nash County as a result of the storm. Three people were injured in neighboring Edgecombe County – two with life-threatening injuries – when the storm passed through. Pfizer plant suffered damage, some structures in the tornado’s path were flattened. Pfizer’s Rocky Mount facility suffered severe damage – video from helicopters showed the roof crumpled like paper and building debris scattered into the surrounding parking lot. There were no reports of injuries at the plant, according to a statement from the company. That plant is one of the largest facilities manufacturing sterile injectable drugs in the world, with more than 1.4 million square feet of manufacturing space on 250 acres in the eastern part of the state.
Water rescues in waterlogged South Carolina: Debby fed gushing rain over parts of South Carolina overnight, prompting dozens of water rescues north of Charleston, according to local officials. At least 26 water rescues occurred in Berkeley County as of Friday morning, emergency management spokesperson Jenna-Lee Walls told CNN. Most were around Moncks Corner, about 30 miles north of Charleston, where a rare flash flood emergency was issued. The area received almost 9 inches of rain in six hours, with 2 to 3 feet of fast-moving water on roads, the National Weather Service said. No serious injuries were reported. Roadways in and around the area remained seriously flooded.
