palmettoweather Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Further update on Kingstree, the forecast for the crest of the Black River has risen by 2 feet which will go well above the all time record. Also, the US 52 bridge into Kingstree has been closed due to fears of debris compromising the integrity of the bridge. Not many ways out now, if any by this point.

lilj4425 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I just got back from Columbia an hour ago. I was in the same area that is currently being evacuated. This is getting very bad. Here are a few pics I took: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Those pics and the stories coming out today remind me a lot of how Floyd went down for us, during the actual PRE event and cane itself the flash flooding was the big thing, people had to get out fast as the water came up fast but then it also went down fast in a lot of areas...and people along those low lying areasthought that was it, it was almost like we dodged a bullet and then the rivers and creeks and streams rose so fast its almost unbelievable as all that runoff made its way into the system......its sounds like a lot of the same there as all the water gets into the rivers and lakes and dams start to fail, and rivers rise fast.....

palmettoweather Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Lee County Sheriff's Office warning about a couple dam issues. One near Clyburn Pond has already failed, but is more minor. The bigger one, Ashwood Lake, seems to have structural damage and quite possibly could fail. (Looks due to erosion to me). A lot of flooding in the Lynchburg area, houses have had to be evacuated.

oldlogin Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The lake is still close to that 360' mark If memory serves right, they built the "backup" due to the water undercutting the dam because of the pillars driven into the ground, from the walking bridge. 1969 was the last time a floodgate was open In other news.....mby is now up to 14.25" for this event and the sprinkles continue Glad you appear to be safe---You have the Wx experience and knowledge to stay that way---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmettoweather Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Sadly, the Black River has shattered the high water record at Kingstree tonight and only seems to be going up, surpassing the river forecast. It is nearing the 21 foot mark, a whole foot past the record and five feet past the criteria for a major flood. Reports are that the river is reaching over a mile outside of its banks. I keep hoping it has finally crested but it keeps surpassing every forecast from the SERFC. A couple more feet and the whole town will be underwater for days because of the slow moving nature of the water in this part of the state. I hope it does not threaten the shelter at Kingstree High School south of town or there would be major trouble. I wish I could find satellite imagery of Williamsburg County because it is fair to say that the majority of the county has to be underwater at this point due to the rivers and low level of the county.

Please get out now. #WLTX Wow. Any more dams on the watch list? I am going to my parents tomorrow. A little off topic but does anyone know the rule on flood damage and what is salvageable and what is not? Someone put on Facebook if under water for 24 hours nothing can be saved.

No snow for you Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 +1 That dam looks advanced so it should be fine. It was completely rebuilt by the Army Corp in 1992 (Or So) and I lived on the lake. Funny story. Army corp came in and did an inspection and came up with a long list of things to do on the dam or they would drain the lake. Well, Fort Jackson got their water supply from the lake and had an agreement to keep up the dam. Well Mr. Cooper took the list over to Fort Jackson and said fix it. Then the Army corp started to back track, but he held his ground and said I agreed with your original report. So the Army Corp rebuilt that damn and took it from metal to Concrete with massive overflow spillway and huge metal gates that are still there as of 3 hours ago.

No snow for you Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Oh, And the lake that started all the problems Sunday AM was Arcadia Lake. They were told to drain the lake in 2012 by DHEC for safety concerns about their dam. They sued and said no and I think it is still in the courts. Of course they failed first and caused all the flooding on Forest Lake and Lake Katherine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
