meisha johnson. >> people in chile are recovering avert quake rocked parts of the country. >> that is footage from a home yesterday, the quake had powerful magnitude of 6.9. even so, emergency services have reported no major damage. the earthquake epi-center less than 25 miles off the country west coast, chile devestated by earthquake and tsunami in 2010. >> and we are getting some rain today. but it is nothing compared to what hit the south. people in berks county north carolina woke up under 2 feet of water yesterday. many were spared in the water didn't make it into the homes, but several cars were stranded. in just two days, that region of central north carolina got more rain than they normally get all month. >> now, katie, we're not talking about rain, i don't think as bad as that, but i heard you say before, how much is required to even get swept away from car? doesn't take much?

>> couple of inches, yes, and lose control of a vehicle. i think it is around 12 to 18 inches or so that a small suv could just get swept away in flood waters. so that's what we always say. if you ever run into flooded roadway, you don't ever want to drive through t even if you drive it every day, you just don't know what might be under that water either. the kind of rain that north carolina continues to see right now, it is soaking rain. and notice, it keeps going three hour loop granted but continues to go in the exact same places, we saw this happen yesterday, too, even through south carolina, so sluggish storm, bulk of the moisture clearly down south, but all headed our way. and with time, probably late morning at the earliest we will see that lift n and the reason that we're not going to get inundated with flood concerns like they've had in the carolinas, storm is starting to gain forward speed. starting to move obviously little more quickly, that means we won't have the length of time to produce those kind of flooding rains. still a big nuisance, a big fat nuisance, for sure, and later on today you do need the

umbrella, basically a requirement. you'll see. right now little precursor went through, left behind damp roadways, even not currently range on i995, you'll have a break from the vehicles. that will will slow you down too, and very cloudy start to the day. so headlights are on all across the region, now, there is indication that we will catch at least little lull over the course of the next hour and a half, two hours or so. but that leading edge eventually lets in, and once it gets here, it is with us, right through the afternoon. and some that far rain again clearly very heavy down near the shore, could you even end up with gusts of peaking as high as 45 miles per hour, so very, very gusty, raw, chilly, gross, as meisha put it, gross day on tap. i'm getting the wrap. i want to jump you to the seven day. better days ahead. tomorrow we transition with few lingering showers here or there, thursday start off the draft, with picture perfect summer-like conditions. >> love that. and so is everyone headed out there to the draft. so really enjoy. that will we just got to get through today. for sure. and look what you are waking up to, so this is live shot of
