YOU'RE
YOU'RE SEEING AND WHERE YOU'RE AT SO THAT WE CAN SHOW THEM HERE ON THE SHOW.
RACHEL, THANKS SO MUCH ON THE
PHONE WITH US RIGHT NOW.
CHUCK HAYNES, EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR WITH YORK
COUNTY.
CHUCK, THANKS SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US OVER THE PHONE.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES
THAT YOU ARE RESPONDING TO AT
THIS POINT IN YORK?
>> WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TREES
DOWN POWER LINES DOWN WHICH IS
NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF
WEATHER.
WHAT IS UNUSUAL IS WE'RE SEEING
WATER IN AREAS THAT WE
TYPICALLY DO NOT SEE WATER AND
THAT THAT'S CERTAINLY WHERE
THERE'S RAIN BANDS SET UP AND
DROP THAT THAT HEAVY RAIN.
SEVERAL RESCUED BOTH OUT OF
HOMES AND OUT OF VEHICLES HAVE
HAD TO HAPPEN THIS MORNING.
AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF ROADWAYS
AND LOW LYING AREAS THAT WE'VE
HAD TO SHUT OFF FOR THROUGH
TRAFFIC TRAVEL AND AS AS WE'RE
TALKING WE'RE SEEING SOME
IMAGES AND SOME VIDEO.
>> AND THIS WATER IS
UNBELIEVABLY POWERFUL.
WHAT WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE TO
PEOPLE AS THIS CONTINUES TO BE
AN ISSUE?
THEIR YES.
SIMPLY STAY AWAY FROM IT.
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S POWER
IN THE WATER.
THE FIRMLY ENERGIZED POWER
LINE.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S UNDER THE
WATER IF IT'S MOVING.
CERTAINLY SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR
FEET.
JUST SIMPLY STAY AWAY FROM IT
IF IT'S COMING TOWARDS YOU SEEK
HIGHER GROUND AND EVEN IF THAT
MEANS LEAVING YOUR HOME OR
LEAVING YOUR CAR TO SAVE
YOURSELF, JUST GET AWAY FROM
IT.
>> THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL
YOU DO.
CHUCK HAYNES WITH EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT FROM YORK COUNTY.
SO WE'RE GOING TO SEND THINGS
OVER TO LARRY AND LARRY.
THE IMAGES OF THIS THIS WEATHER
EVENT, THEIR INCREDIBLE THEY
REALLY ARE AND IN EVERY ISSUE
ISSUE FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IS INDICATED EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THESE EVENTS,
EVERY ONE OF THESE WARNINGS
SAYS LIFE THREATENING.
>> SO WHAT HE WAS SAYING IS
VERY TRUE AND WE ALWAYS USE
THAT PHRASE TURNAROUND ROUND.
SERIOUSLY, THIS IS THE TIME.
DO NOT APPROACH THAT.
DON'T GO THROUGH IT TO WALK
THROUGH IT.
DON'T TRY TO DRIVE YOUR CAR
THROUGH IT.
IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING,
LIFE ENDANGERING.
AS WE TAKE A LIVE VIEW OF LAKE
NORMAN, LOOK AT OAK HILL.
A BIT OF A BREEZE OUT THERE BUT
THE RAIN HAS STOPPED AT LEAST
THERE BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT
OF RAIN.
DRAW THAT LINE.
INTERSTATE 77 EVERYTHING IS
EAST HEAVY HEAVY RAIN TRACKING
OFF SOME OF THESE PLACES LIKE
PAISLEY, NORWOOD, ROCKINGHAM
ALL TOWARDS LUMBERTON UP
INTERSTATE 95.
YOU GET HEAVY, HEAVY RAINFALL.
WE'VE GOT TRAVEL PLANS UP
TOWARDS GREENSBOROUGH, A HIGH
POINT WINSTON-SALEM, RALEIGH,
VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THERE
WITH ALL THE RAINFALL THEY'VE
HAD IN THOSE AREAS AS WE TAKE
ISSUE ONCE AGAIN THE AMOUNT OF
RAINFALL THAT'S THAT FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TRACKING OFF MOVING
FROM WEST THESE PAGE AND
GETTING SOME HEAVY RAIN MAYBE
THERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AROUND
STANLEY COUNTY.
NOW WHILE SOLSBURY GETTING SOME
HEAVY RAIN OVER TOWARDS

FLOODING CONDITIONS ARE
WIDESPREAD.
MAYBE YOU DON'T SEE RAIN BACK
THE WEST WITH US STILL WARNINGS
IN EFFECT WITH ALL THE RAIN

EFFECT AND SOME OF THE RAINFALL
TOTALS EAST OF HERE WHERE
YOU SEE THE PURPLES AND THE
REDS THAT IS RAIN RATES AT THE
RATE OF MAYBE TWO AND A HALF TO

ANCIENT ART.
