People on the lake won't flood. That is why they have the emergency spillway...so the power company can flood all the people who live below the lake.
I was being a smartass. Not easy to tell with just typed words unfortunately. It was a pretty cool thing to see when they released water from that spillway back in 2015.

Meanwhile, Florence is look as shitty as she has since she blew up. Still dangerous, but obviously a good thing nonetheless.

Up until 2015 the Spillway has only opened all gates once.
People were told it would never happen, until it did and the homeowners that built and bought downstream got screwed.

I moved into 5000 Forest apartments recently. Any idea what this area was like last time? I'm on a decent size hill but Forest Lake and Gills Creek are right there

Florence is big but sloppy?

Should be ok, but the area by Zoe’s will flood if rains are bad.

My parents house got 28” of rain in 2.5 days.
We survived a little better on the Charleston Penninsula with only 23” in 2.5 days.
I know several people that live along or near the Pee Dee and Black Rivers. One person I know had water almost to their roof and it was a two story house on the Black River.

3-4 inches around Lex/Cola doesnt seem to jive with the 18z GFS storm track showing an 8 hour stroll down I20 from Florence to the Georgia border.

Yeah I know Zoe's and Coplon's got it pretty bad last time. I figure I should be okay from a flooding perspective. If power is gonna be out for a while I'll try to head to higher ground once the storm passes.

I keep checking the Frying Pan camera. Check it now and how beautiful it looks out there right now

I had just moved here three months before the 2015 flood. I want no part in that again.

Wind is howling. Wish there was a wind gauge up there.

My neighborhood on James Island (one block from a tidal marsh) got way more water for Irma than for Matthew or the 2015 flood.
Glad I left though with the projections continuing to look worse for S.C. Drove overnight to New Orleans with three month old two dogs and three cats haha. Hoping for the best back home.

Pic on NBC news just showed a beachfront house where the oceanfront part of the house had a 3 bag high sandbag wall.

Here’s the YouTube link. It’s a lot less cluttered and a quicker load on mobile.
