Tropical Storm Chantal unleashed torrential rains that flooded downtown Saxapahaw, submerging cars and filling buildings with water. The Haw River surged over its banks, completely covering the town's bridge and transforming roads into rivers of debris.

Cleanup is underway in the town of Saxapahaw, where the Haw River surged beyond its banks due to Tropical Storm Chantal. In spite of the widespread flood damage from Chantal, Saxapahaw residents are staying positive after the storm.
