A storm that dumped up to 12 inches of rain in Louisiana and Mississippi moved into Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and western North Carolina on Friday.

The National Weather Service posted flash flood watches and warnings for much of the South from Louisiana into southwest Virginia.

The storm system was blamed for a death in Louisiana earlier this week when a tree fell on a camper.
