wow.  |
I read that Florence is expected to drop 10 trillion gallons of water. That’s less than a third of what Harvey dropped last year, but the geography is different. We just got massive flooding, which was bad, of course. The Carolinas could see high volumes of rapidly moving water, essentially turning creeks into rapids. That could present a different kind of danger. |
Didn't you ride out Harvey? |
Sure. I live on high ground. Here's a article that puts the volume of rain into perspective. Link The volume of water from Florence will be much less than Harvey, but again, the geography of the Carolinas could make this more dangerous in some areas. Here's a discussion: Link |

People evacuating on foot through the flood waters are in danger.
