What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Remnants of Hurricane Isaias moved through the Carolinas, sending rivers over their banks and causing landslides in McDowell County. Heavy rain from Isaias flooded low-lying areas, prompting evacuations and causing the Catawba River to reach its banks near Marion. The storm remnants also resulted in fire and power outages in McDowell County.
