Gov. Mike Easley is urging caution as rains dumped by Tropical Storm Hanna pushed streams, creeks and rivers close to flood stage.
A statement from the governor's office issued Sunday said major flooding is occurring in Raeford but it is not affecting homes or businesses.
Officials said there was also minor flooding in Smithfield, Clayton and Manchester near Pope Air Force Base.
The Neuse River at Smithfield is expected to crest about 5 feet above flood stage at 2 a.m. Monday. That will cause some local flooding on some streets and may affect a water treatment plant.
The governor's office said six people canoeing on the Haw River in Chatham County Saturday night had to be rescued after the canoe overturned and dumped them into the water.
