Several North Carolina towns saw historic rainfall Monday. One street in particular recorded more rain than the area has likely seen in 1,000 years.

It never became a tropical depression, but Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight brought rain totals like North Carolina hasn't seen in hundreds of years.

The beaches where swimmers should avoid are in New Hanover, Carteret and Brunswick counties after areas were heavily flooded on Monday, officials said.

An unnamed storm that impacted the eastern Carolinas with over a foot of rainfall caused significant flooding and triggered water rescues. Flooding resembled impacts that usually occur during hurricanes.

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.
