South Carolina and North Carolina

We here in Gatlinburg/GSMNP area have had 4 days of good rain which caused some flash flooding, yes. The coming days though are going to be beautiful with highs in the upper 70's, lows around 60 at night with sunshine all week. Ya'll come down now.... ya hear?

We are going to Huntington beach state park Sc Fri, any one have any info.

I just saw some photos taken today at Hunting Island State Park with campsites underwater, so I'd call first before going.

Downtown Columbia is underwater as are many outlying neighborhoods. Our 2 acre pond which was down about three feet and is only rain fed, is now back to full stage plus. Small neighborhood lake dams have been breached, some folks being rescued by boats even where there is no pond, lake, creek. Lexington SC has similar events going on.

The good news I is that the drought has been broken.

well, we aRE HERE in pirateland at m.b. and still not floating

That so called "WATER HOSE" event between the Hurricane and the NOREASTERN weather systems may be extending all the way to the Smoky Mtns around Gatlinburg... Almost all of the camp grounds in that area are along the Little River...

We was tent camping at ELKMONT CAMP one weekend and the rangers just evacuated several of us campers... I was fast enough to break camp and left the area. A whole bunch of TENTS and camping items was found the next morning a couple miles downstream all piled up on sharp turn of the Little River inside the park...

Hopefully after todays events we will start seeing some clearing up things along the East coastal areas here in Virginia... Myrtle Beach and North Carolina is next on the hit list now... All we are getting here is a continuous slow drizzle of rain with wind gusts in the 25-30MPH for the past several days...

Be safe out there

Yes we have had a lot of rain since Friday night here in SC. But it seems the media as usual is trying to make it sound much worse than it generally is. I live right on Lake Marion which is currently about 4 feet low below from being full. If you look at radar that is also where the stream of moisture has been crossing SC since Friday PM. Yes there are flooded areas but they seem to be the usual low spots along the immediate coast and some sections of roads that are in low areas and frequently flood. I am 45 miles or so inland from the coast and the elevation is only 75 feet or so above sea level.

I just get tired of the media and others over-hyping things!

I saw that on the news. It just breaks my heart. I love that area. Hope it doesn't do too much damage.
