Parts of southeastern North Carolina were still underwater Tuesday after a storm that wasn't quite organized enough to get a name dropped historic amounts of rain on an area that has suffered floods of a lifetime at least four other times in the past 25 years.

Tropical storm-force winds and heavy rainfall continue across the Carolina coast as Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight moved onshore Monday.

Officials in Carolina Beach are urging residents to stay home as the town deals with ongoing flooding. The town has received more than 15 inches of rain since midnight Monday.
