(Boone, N.C.) (AP) — Two people died after a home collapsed in North Carolina following extreme flooding.

The Boone Police Department said rescue teams were searching Wednesday night for two people who vanished after a home collapsed in North Carolina due to flooding and mudslides from the remnants of Subtropical Storm Alberto.

The home is located in the Heaven Mountain Area after two people were reported missing at the collapse site.

Multiple emergency personnel from the surrounding county responded.

Some areas of the North Carolina mountains have received up to 20 inches of rain in the past 15 days.

A TV news anchor and a photographer were killed Monday in North Carolina while covering the weather, when a tree became uprooted from rain-soaked ground and toppled onto their SUV. News anchor Mike McCormick and photojournalist Aaron Smeltzer were killed instantly.
