Tropical Depression Nicole Raining From Georgia To New York
Newsy
Nicole could dump up to 8 inches of rain over the Blue Ridge Mountains and there's a chance of flash and urban flooding as far north as New England.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole sent heavy rains falling from Georgia to New York on Friday as flooding and surging ocean waters receded from a stretch of Florida coastline where the most damaging impacts became evident after it made landfall as a hurricane.
Now a depression, Nicole could dump as much as 8 inches of rain over the Blue Ridge Mountains and there was a chance of flash and urban flooding as far north as New England.
With the center of the storm about 70 miles southwest of Macon, Georgia, and maximum sustained winds at 35 mph, forecasters issued a string of tornado warnings in North and South Carolina, although no touchdowns or damage were reported immediately. Much of both states and Virginia were under a tornado watch.
