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"

Basically not.

$125 B >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $9 B

And that's just monetary damage.

Moral: Don't compare.
