Looks like heavy rains are contributing to a dam failure in North Carolina. One of the more strongly worded NWS warnings I've seen in awhile.
As of this morning the warnings have been scaled back.
McDowell County Emergency Management issued the following statement just after 10 a.m.:
"The emergency at Lake Tahoma has been canceled. The evacuation order is no longer in effect. The engineer has performed a safety inspection and determined that the evacuation order is no longer needed.
Please remain alert for additional updates, as additional rainfall is expected this afternoon. We appreciate the public's understanding during this storm.
Once again the mandatory evacuation order for all residents below Lake Tahoma has been canceled."
