Much of the fallout from the floods of Tropical Storm Chantal resolved soon after the waters receded. Other problems plagued central North Carolina throughout the week.
Flooding of the Graham-Mebane Water Treatment plant led to severe restrictions.
The Mebane Branch of Alamance County Libraries was not spared from the flood-related closings.
Alamance County Public Libraries Director Susana Goldman says there was no structural damage to the library, but the storm was still disruptive.
“We're in the middle of our summer reading program, which means usually kids and families are active and in and out and want to do things,” she says. “The library provides programming that we've had to either reschedule or cancel.”
Goldman says a bookmobile was placed in front of the library so patrons could still get their reading materials.
Alamance County officials have also set up a call center for residents with questions about flood damage, water and septic issues and other concerns in the aftermath of the storm. The number is 336-790-0440.
Some places in the region got more than eight inches of rain from Chantal. In Chatham County, peaks reached nearly a foot.
The National Weather Service Office in Raleigh confirmed four area tornadoes connected with the remnants of the tropical storm, including one each in Mebane and Snow Camp.
