It's really bad.
It hasn't stopped raining since Thursday. My hometown has already received 19 inches of rain and is currently under about 2 feet of water.
Charleston hasn't flooded this bad since Hurricane Hugo in '89 (our Katrina basically). Columbia, where USC is, is over a 100 miles inland and everywhere except the high areas of downtown is basically underwater.
We've had really bad flooding before, but it's usually very localized. Never before have I seen this kind of widespread flooding across the state. Nobody expected it to get this bad, but the media is officially calling this a "once every 500 years type of weather event"

"Hurricane Hugo in '89 (our Katrina basically)."
I pointed out an invalid comparison made by someone else.

All natural disasters end up being a dick measuring contest by a few tards on the OT. It's sad.
Prayers to the OP and everyone affected by this situation

Amen to the thoughts going out to those in harm's way.
I would never compare any disaster that affected me to any other disaster.
They are all individual and unique.

Done, man.
Look, everyone there appreciates you working, but be sure your family is safe.

Except he didn't even remotely say it was as bad. Just that it was our worst hurricane.

Step off your dick measuring soapbox.
You took one phrase and was immediately rustled. It wasn't a literal comparison. I wasn't comparing Katrina's loss of life or economic impact to Hugo's. But as far as what one storm can do to a region psychologically, yes, that's where my comparison lies.
Everybody knows Katrina was one of the worst (probably the worst) natural disasters in US history.
Moral: grow up
