Dangerous wildfire smoke hurting air quality as extreme heat and fire concerns grow

Heavy storms in the Carolinas brought between 1 to 4 inches of rain and prompted several flash flood warnings on Friday.

Near Nebo, North Carolina, three people were rescued and at least 25 others were evacuated from a campground due to rising floodwaters as some of the storms in the area were strong enough to produce scattered wind damage consisting of downed trees on roads and homes.

A neighborhood in Craven, South Carolina, also had several trees knocked down on homes, but there were no reports of injuries even though numerous homes suffered damage with some reported to be total losses.

The risk for flash flooding has now shifted Saturday to parts of the Southeast from Alabama to the Carolinas and into parts of northern Florida.
