More flooding to hit SC disaster areas: Gov. Haley
South Carolina’s governor has urged tens of thousands of people in low-lying areas near the coast to evacuate Thursday before a wall of floodwater moving toward the Atlantic inundates large swathes of the state for the next 12 days.
Gov. Nikki Haley, speaking at a news conference in Summerville, warned residents in flood-prone areas of four counties—Dorchester, Charleston, Georgetown and Williamsburg—to “strongly consider evacuating.”
“Don’t underestimate the power of water,” she said.
The warning covers the low-lying area near the rising Waccamaw, Santee and Edisto rivers, and includes the 10,000 residents of Georgetown.
Flooding is expected in Georgetown in the next 12 hours, followed by Jamestown and the Givens Ferry area in the next 72 hours, said Haley on Thursday.
- The flooding could effect more than 300,000 people, according to various models.
- Several rounds of flooding since Saturday may have already cost South Carolina at least $300 million in crop losses, said a senior official.
- Senator Lindsey Graham has warned total cost of the ongoing disasters could exceed $1 billion.
- 17 of the 19 weather-related deaths during the ongoing catastrophe across the region have occurred in South Carolina.
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service has issued the following forecast for the region:
Isolated severe thunderstorms possible for parts of Mid-Atlantic
The NWS Storm Prediction Center is forecasting a risk of severe thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening across portions of Mid-Atlantic States. Strong wind gusts will be the primary concern with any thunderstorms that develop.

Major disaster declared in Texas due to severe storms and flooding
The White House has declared a major disaster exists in the State of Texas in the areas affected by severe storms and flooding during the period of October 30-31, 2013.
State officials had previously estimated the damage at less than the $35 million threshold required for federal aid, but revised their estimates for the damage to government facilities to more than $100 million in November.
The Halloween floods killed at least five people and destroyed hundreds of homes in central Texas.
The worst affected areas include the counties of Caldwell, Hays, and Travis.
“The vast majority of damage to public facilities, such as parks and roads, was in the city of Austin and Travis County along Onion Creek, which rapidly flooded after heavy overnight rain,” said a report.
Additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments, said FEMA in a statement.
