I'll post a map of the location in just a minute for Josh. Got a warning just issued (from the Weatherbug ... just went off - Flood Statement)
FLOOD STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1019 PM EDT SUN MAY 18 2003
...HEAVY RAINS FALLING OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA...
AT 1020 PM...CHARLESTON NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR
INDICATES AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING NORTHEAST
ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL ENTER THE
SOUTHERN END OF CHARLESTON COUNTY...MOVING NORTHEAST AT 30 MPH.
OTHER STRONG STORMS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN COLLETON AND
DORCHESTER COUNTIES. THESE STORMS HAVE A HISTORY OF PRODUCING 1 TO
2 INCHES OF RAIN AN HOUR...WITH SOME PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS
AND LOW LYING AREAS EXPECTED.
OF PARTICULAR CONCERN IS DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON WHERE THE APPROACHING
RAINFALL WILL COMBINE WITH HIGH TIDE TO PRODUCE STREET FLOODING.
RESIDENTS LIVING DOWNTOWN ON FLOOD PRONE STREETS SHOULD TAKE THE
NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS AS SOME STREETS MAY BECOME IMPASSABLE WITH
HIGH WATER.
BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT SINCE IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. USE CAUTION IN AND AROUND STREAMS...CREEKS AND
DRAINAGE DITCHES. TAKE THE SHORTEST PATH TO REACH HIGHER GROUND BUT
DO NOT DRIVE INTO RISING OR FAST MOVING WATER.
STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
FOR LATER STATEMENTS OR WARNINGS.
