( CNN ) -- The body of a man swept away while swimming in a rain-swollen creek in western North Carolina was found Sunday , authorities said . The body of a child who was dragged away by the swift currents was recovered Saturday evening . The drownings happened after 4 inches of rain fell over five hours in North Carolina 's Piedmont region , prompting officials to declare a state of emergency in Catawba County . First responders stayed busy racing to save people stuck in fast-moving waters and closed dozens of roads Saturday because of major flooding . Delilah Lovett , 10 , of Charlotte and Juan Alberdi , 48 , of Huntersville -- members of different families who were visiting the area together -- were both swimming in what is known as the `` bathtub '' on Wilson 's Creek in Caldwell County around 6:15 p.m. Saturday , the Caldwell County Sheriff 's Office said . Rain , which had already stopped , raised Wilson Creek 2 feet above normal levels and created `` very swift currents , '' according to a statement from the sheriff 's department . Kayakers found Delilah 's body nearly an hour after she disappeared , it said . Search and rescue crews found Alberdi on Sunday , about a quarter mile north of where they were first told he went into the water , according to LouAnne Kincaid , a spokeswoman for Caldwell County . Catawba County officials reported 10 swiftwater rescues for residents needing help getting out of their homes and vehicles Saturday afternoon , said Mark Pettit , an emergency official in the county . Some 52 roads in the inland county had been closed at that point , six of which might not see any traffic for as long as three months , according to Pettit . Lincoln County -- which is just south of Catawba County and about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte -- saw 8 to 10 inches of rain in 12 hours , county emergency management spokesman Dion Burleson said . First responders had done as many as five rescues by late Saturday afternoon , Burleson said , though things appeared to be on the upswing . The spokesman said the water rescue operation had been demobilized because waters were receding .
