Here's a visual that many can understand from all the rain we have had since Sunday night here in the Charleston area. Please don't yell at me, my rain gauge sprung a leak and I need to replace it.

Getting lucky here in Charleston at the moment. Rain has decreased considerably and it's low tide so that is helping draw some of this water away.

Florence hit Wrightsville Beach NC and then turned southwest into SC Sept 14-15 2018 but it didn't loop back out to the coast

Around 11:30 a mix of flakes, ice pellets and rain in Rockville and now @ 12:30 a few snowflakes in Rockville. If you blinked you missed it.

Luckily it is low tide. Minimal flooding in Charleston. Winds have shifted to offshore. Majority of rain appears to be on the northeastern side of I-26. Wind gusts up to around 31 mph in Mt Pleasant. Storm looks to be threading the needle between Isle of Palms and Dewees Island. Yesterday evening my pool had a good three inches to go before it got close to the top...this morning it is overflowing...Mainly a rain event with this one.
