Ophelia made landfall early Saturday in North Carolina, producing high winds and heavy rain across the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey. The city of Crisfield will apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency and Maryland Department of Emergency Management grants to help pay for a $63 million flood control program to mitigate flooding by raising roads and building new tide gates, berms and other projects.

Ophelia was downgraded from a tropical storm on Saturday after making landfall in North Carolina, but still brought storm surge and heavy rain to the Mid-Atlantic over the weekend causing flooding in areas of North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.

Photos show flooded roads in Crisfield, Maryland. The city was already planning to apply for grants from FEMA and the Maryland Department of Emergency Management to help with a $63 million flood control program to mitigate flooding — a near constant problem in Crisfield.

Locals told WBOC that the flooding, though it appeared to be several feet in some locations, was minor compared to what they've experienced from other storms. Some expected it to be at least a week before Ophelia's flooding clears Crisfield.

Flooding was also seen in parts of Virginia, including Poquoson and Maryus.

In Belhaven, North Carolina, storm surge flooded local businesses with 10 to 12 inches of water. Business owners were cleaning up the mess Monday after waters receded.
