Tropical Storm Ophelia moves inland over North Carolina as coastal areas lashed with wind, rain

Tropical Storm Ophelia made landfall near a North Carolina barrier island, bringing heavy rain, damaging winds, and the threat of flooding to coastal North Carolina and Virginia. The storm has weakened since making landfall, but residents should still expect strong winds and heavy rain throughout the weekend. Power outages have been reported in several eastern counties of North Carolina, and storm surge warnings are in effect in some areas.
