Parts of southeastern North Carolina have been deluged by another historic flood. Highways in Brunswick County remained underwater Tuesday, a day after about 18 inches of rain fell at nearby Carolina Beach in 12 hours.

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.

The storm did flood several blocks of Carolina Beach, North Carolina, and bring widespread wind gusts over 40 mph. North Carolina's governor urged people to stay off the roads in stormy conditions.

The driver, Richard Walton Robinson, was in a blue Subaru Crosstrek SUV when he drove around sheriff’s office vehicles and into high water.

One of the hardest hit areas was Brunswick County, North Carolina, where dozens of roads are still flooded and many have collapsed. County officials have warned residents to avoid flooded areas and not to drive around barricades.

In Stokes County, flooding washed out a portion of Bethesda Church Road as pavement buckled leaving a section impassable.

An 80-year-old man died after his vehicle became submerged on a closed Brunswick County roadway, according to a news release from the N.C. State Highway Patrol. Richard Walton Robinson of Southport was located deceased inside his submerged vehicle.

Troopers said the man's vehicle was washed away in floodwaters at the Lockwood Folly River Bridge in Brunswick County.
