Raleigh residents are dealing with more flooding on Thursday during a week that saw a tropical depression and strong storms drop several inches of rain on the city this week.
According to the National Weather Service, Raleigh saw nearly an inch and a half of rain in about an hour Thursday afternoon.
This was the third time since Sunday that torrential rain has fallen in central North Carolina this week.

On Wednesday, more rain moved through the area and brought torrential rain to Orange and Durham counties, as well as some areas in Wake County.
According to the Raleigh Police Department, no one has been injured Thursday and there are no reports of water rescues.
