I think the Mayor of Charleston putting the city on curfew was a great idea. It always floods down there and they always end up picking cars out all over. They didn't do it today.
-
There is absolutely NO flooding in the neighborhood closest to the battery…the drains and pumps are working…most streets the media is showing flood when there is a king tide. The drains and pumps are really working well.

Ugh. These slow moving systems SUCK. Florence did the same and turned places into islands 2-3 days after initial impacts. I am in Wilmy and I am getting deja vu looking at Charleston.

It would be nice if the state along with the city is mentioned in weather broadcasts, i.e. there is a greenville in every state in the nation, albeit different sizes.
