Tropical Storm Chantal left copious amounts of tropical moisture behind and that combined with a surface low-pressure system stretched out over the Piedmont Triad on Wednesday, sparking torrential downpours and significant flash flooding. Severe storms that moved through Thursday caused more flash flooding over the central Triad communities of High Point, Kernersville, Lexington, and Thomasville.

Storm Reports on July 9th
Reports of downed trees, and harmful lightning have been received for parts of the Piedmont Triad. One person was reportedly struck by lightning in Iredell County on Wednesday afternoon as the storms developed. A line of severe thunderstorms began merging over the Triad as Chantal's lingering surface moisture converged to bring life-threatening flash flooding to many areas of the Piedmont Triad.

While severe storms have us going to the lowest floor of our home, flash flooding from rapidly rising water in low-lying zones, may force you to seek the highest level in your home. If you had flooding Wednesday from severe storms or from Chantal over the weekend, be ready to get to higher ground if storms develop in your neighborhood this afternoon and evening.
