Tropical Storm Chantal became the first named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season to hit the United States after it made landfall in South Carolina early Sunday. It isn’t a major threat to land.

Allison is one of the poster children that illustrate water is the deadliest weapon a tropical storm or hurricane has. This storm was particularly damaging as well. Adjusted to 2024 USD, it was responsible for $15.1 billion in adjusted costs.

Tropical Storm Chantal weakened into a depression after sweeping inland across South Carolina into eastern North Carolina on Sunday, July 6, though the system still brought a threat of flash flooding and dangerous rip currents.
