The South Carolina Flooding from 2015 should be on the map as well. Couple the 2015 flooding with disaster from Hurricane Matthew this October of 2016.....it is really unprecedented.
So many...many people in eastern South Carolina who were flooded in 2015....were yet again flooded in 2016 from Matthew. Plus add in the damage to eastern North Carolina and the tidewater region of Virginia adds insult to injury.
South Carolina and East Coast Flooding
October 2015
2015-10-01 2015-10-05 Historic levels of flooding impacted South Carolina causing widespread damage to many homes, businesses, public buildings and infrastructure. This interrupted commerce and closed major transportation corridors (such as I-95) for weeks as rivers slowly receded. Locally extreme rainfall totals exceeding 20-inches were common resulting from the convergence of a powerful low pressure system / frontal boundary and copious moisture from Hurricane Joaquin in the Atlantic.
