MEBANE, N.C. — Heavy rains caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal hit central North Carolina on Sunday, causing widespread flooding across the area. As of July 7 at 9 p.m., four storm-related deaths have been reported — one in Alamance County, one in Orange County and two in Chatham County.
