lj0109 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Radar really lighting up along and south of the US-378 corridor through the central midlands. Places that have only seen around 2-2.5" so far today will start to add to that number in short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Places that have only seen around 2-2.5" so far today will start to add to that number in short order. If that band decides to stay in that same area all night, I'll need to add the CSRA to the area of SC that I think would get 12+ of rain. It means business bigtime. Parts of Dorchester and Charleston counties may get 20 unless that band gets north of those 2 counties soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 texted the details to my brother. They are hearing rumors that power will be turned off soon by the electric company. I can think of nothing worse than having the power go out in that situation. lighting and thunder with very heavy rain is the local report. 5-8 inches of water..swamp. brother is informing that canal has flowed into the yard. kids crying... damn...best of luck to them. I wish we could say it's likely to get better but certainly doesn't look like it. Looking at the HRRR it doesn't stop, 10+" and counting.

lj0109 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Rocky Branch Creek here in downtown Columbia is on the rise. Up a foot and a half in the last 20 minutes. For those unfamiliar, this creek floods pretty quick as a result of run off from most of the downtown Columbia area. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Flash Flood Warning for Rich/Lex Counties within an hour or so if these current rainfall rates continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
