In North Raleigh, some neighbors got stuck in their parking lots due to the intense rain and flooding. Jessie Barnett and Katherine Bardzel said they walked to their workout class earlier Wednesday evening, but the flooding forced them to take an Uber ride home.

"It's been a monsoon," Barnett said. "I'm sure there are hazardous road conditions."

Elsewhere around Wake County, the Wake County Sheriff's Office had to block off Marks Creek Road after rain flowed over the road.

Wake County on Monday wasn't the only county the storms hit. In Goldsboro, Carolina Street, Ash Street and the north end of the town were flooded.

While the rain slowed for many in the evening hours of Monday, some areas are still experiencing flooding.

Monday's flooding has been part of a wet, and sticky pattern for much of the summer around North Carolina.

The wet days started in July, when Tropical Depression Chantal ripped through North Carolina, causing intense flooding and millions in storm damage in Chapel Hill, Durham and around central North Carolina.

Beth Rivera, who works on Harrington Street in Raleigh, said the rain this summer has been some of the worst that she's seen in North Carolina.

"I've been in that building for four years now, and I've never seen that specific corner flooded before," Rivera said. "It was pretty shocking. A lot of cars were stopping to back up and turn around."

More rain was dumped on central North Carolina to start August, with two people in Nash County dying after they were swept away by flood waters in Spring Hope.

In between the rain at the start of July and the recent rain to start August was one of the most intense heatwaves on record in the state, with extreme heat warnings for at least six days in a row.

In Apex, a week earlier, flooding washed away part of Olive Chapel Road, and it could take months for it to be repaired.

"We live downtown, so we usually walk everywhere," Bardzel said. "It was really tough the last few months and not being able to just walk to the grocery store or walk to work out."

Police officers are advising drivers if they see flooded roads, they should "turn around, don't drown," adding that if you are questioning how deep the water is on the road, you should probably avoid it.
