Problem is we’re in a king tide right now. For those not familiar with local geography, coastal Georgia and SC have the biggest tides on the east coast until you get WAY up north. We can thank the South Atlantic Bight for that.
Currently, we just passed high tide at 7.6 feet MHHW. That’s 1.6 feet above predicted. Charleston, much like NOLA is at sea level with some parts below. It floods with a high tide and a light sprinkle.
High tide tomorrow is at noon after we’ll have had 12+ hours of onshore wind driven water. This is probably going to be the most extensive flooding the city has seen since Hugo in 1989.
Even the 16” of rain we got in 2016 won’t be like this as that storm didn’t hit during a king tide.

Lady on NBC2 saying lots of areas that flooded were not in flood zones and were not required to hold flood insurance. That really sucks.

Checking in from Port Charlotte.
From what I've seen so far, the damage is a lot less that I expected.
We're out right now going to people's houses who haven't answered texts to see if they're ok.
Streets are amazingly clear, even though trees are snapped in half all over the place.
Roof damage seems minimal and we still haven't seen a single window blown out.

The wind speed isnt the concern for SC, its all the water Ian will be pushing.

Would not use Flatiron to put in a drainage culvert, they built the bridge in Florida that collapsed and killed some folks in Florida a few years ago
that was not Flatiron, get your facts straight. It was a minority firm that was mostly responsible for that disaster. Flatiron has not done any work in Florida in decades.

now they are in the middle of a lawsuit with the State of Texas on the new Harbor Bridge in Corpus that has been going on for about 10 years now. Project has been shut down numerous times due to faulty design and workmanship, it is 5 years behind schedule and hundreds of millions over budget. Bridge construction is currently on hold and the lawsuits are piling up.

Those Florida building codes coming through. They started after Andrew, so theyve had time to be implemented in a widespread manor.
Its the surge that did the devastating for the most part.

I remember edges of the Old Village getting flooded by a king tide once, no rain involved. Sometime around 2005ish. I also remember any rain over an inch resulted in flooding downtown Charleston. It was a monthly news event. I was there when Charley made its second landfall near Charleston. It wasn't a huge storm at that point, but not having power for a week really sucked. For that reason alone I recommend people evacuate.

How are y'all holding up? I've got friends down that way close to Wolf lake. I haven't heard anything from them yet.

A lot of people going to caught especially if this gets to a 2. Thankfully Columbia is for enough inland where the storm won't do much here.
Debating whether to drag my fiancés dad by his ears to our house. Hes in a trailer in Ridgeville and doesn't want to leave.

Flood will cover all water damage due to the surge, including personal property (must itemize and will be depreciated). HOI policy would cover water damage due to roof leaks, windows blown out and driving rain.
FEMA Flood policies are much easier to deal with than standard HO3 policies. Private Flood polices vary on ease of claim payouts.
Like poster said, "light fuse and get away"
