Another South Carolinian checking in. I live near Myrtle Beach, SC....in a the community known as Socastee, SC.

Luckily I am at a elevation of 21 feet above seal level. The Intercoastal Waterway and the Waccamaw River are both located approximately 1 mile from my home. We had no flooding here at my home yet several developments very nearby were inundated.

The Waccamaw River is due to crest Thursday at 16.1 feet. This is less than the crest of 1999 following Hurricane Floyd which was 17.3 feet. People along the Waccamaw have been evacuating for days now.

It has been a strange spring/summer/fall here this year. In May we had Tropical Storm Ana make landfall in our area.....followed by drought and 100 degree plus temps in June and July. Mid September brought heavy rains with the finale being this past weekend.

We will however persevere.
