RICHMOND, Va. (November 12, 2009)--Relentless rain Thursday was swamping a long stretch of the Atlantic seaboard, triggering coastal flood warnings and watches from North Carolina to Long Island.
The downpour Thursday comes from the remnants of tropical storm Ida, which blew ashore in Alabama from the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday and has meandered to the north and east.
Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine declared a state of emergency Wednesday.
Dominion Power reported more than 19,000 outages in Virginia early Thursday.
In Norfolk, on the coast, several bridges and a major tunnel were closed.
In North Carolina, some roads were closed and schools around Wilmington planned to open late.
South Carolina authorities say runoff from the heavy rain overwhelmed sewage plants in the Columbia area, dumping raw sewage into three rivers.
