I live on an island

[Magdave]

I always wanted to but not this way. Here is the flood map around me you can see the island I live on circled on it.

:shocked: I hope that as the waters recede; the damage is relatively minimal... :thumbup:

The map says it all. Our thoughts and ray:ray: go out to all the flood victims.

News last night mentioned this was enough rain to have cured the California drought--had it been dumped in the right place.

Good Luck! Thoughts and prayers go out to all the people affected by the flooding.ray:ray:ray:

The good news is your place is near a lake! But instead if "going to the lake" it came to you!

Ive been praying for you low country folks. I hope this will end soon.

As you can see the light blue is the actual river. Dark blue is flooded areas. It won't go down for a while either. Forecast is looking good though...no Hurricanes ( OMG what a mess that would be) or heavy rain coming. 30% chance of some rain Sat but sunny as far as they forecast.

As someone who has never even had a wet basement I can't imagine what you going thru but keep your chin up if that helps!

:shocked: Now you're just waiting for everything to get done with draining into what should be just the river; right?
Days... Hang in there!! :thumbup:

It's been pretty bad but it could have been so much worse if the hurricane had turned toward the states! :yikes:

Probably weeks not days. I don't expect to see my dock for 2 weeks at least. It is 12" higher than this pic (the chairs are screwed down). The Dock is usually 12" above the pond.

Yikes, I hope your house is on high ground.

If it went above the posts it would be time to go....:yikes:

 

[Bob Denman]

So, are you starting to actually see some progress yet? :dontknow:

I have family all over SC (Lexington, Pawley's Island, Florence, Anderson) and thank God they all survived with no damage to life or property. But there are so many that weren't that lucky. I lived there for 45 years and never saw anything like this; not even when Hugo tore through the state.

I would sit at my computer while all of this was happening looking at pictures and videos of the Midlands and crying. I grew up it the Midlands and seeing this was gut wrenching.

You have my prayers, as well as all those who are in SC and are facing this massive clean up and rebuilding. God bless. ray:

Do you have clean water and provisions? Or are you able to get out to get them?

Still have road access it isn't flooded over..yet. Last night after the crest was supposed to be over I still got another 6" so to answer Bob no progress at all. At least it is sunny. :thumbup: As long as this does actually go down at least I know for sure my house can handle severe flooding I have wondered as I live in an AE flood zone. That means very low risk but the new Fema maps were saying different.Might have to invest in some flood insurance just when the Govt. quit subsidizing it.
