If it floods as bad as they're predicting, it's likely that nobody will be able to get out here anyway. I'm not really sure what to expect around here, but that's why I always keep my equipment fueled up so I can hopefully clear the roads for fire, rescue, and linemen to get in and do their jobs more easily.

@XJsavage. Did you evacuate

He knows his way to Compton. And has a key to the gate.

Not necessarily coastal, but I’m in Fayetteville. My gauges shows 4inches so far. Lots of wind but all is safe here. Sounds like tomorrow afternoon is gonna suck here.

I'm good, thankfully. About to go out and fire up the generator again.

If everybody wanted to come down with a bucket and take a full one back home with you, that'd be cool.

Local station in Columbia has said that there was lots of rain and wind in Myrtle. Nothing said about the Mulins area that I have seen.

Do you know if the pee dee has flooded yet?

 

[Wes]

Do you know if the pee dee has flooded yet?

Not sure if Pee Dee is. Wateree river was already high 2 days ago. If we get the 10 inches of projected rain it’ll be a mess down stream. They lowered the lake which made the river high.

U can try looking them up on the southeast river flood center
