Like biblical Noah's days, flooding from days of torrential rain have paralyzed much of South Carolina since Sunday, October 4th! Officials said many people have died so far, and worry that many more could die. State Gov, Nikki Haley said this is the worst in 1000 years!

Right now, residents of Columbia, South Carolina are without drinking water because of water main breaks from the flooding, and officials say those affected should be prepared to be without potable water from the city system for three to four days.

Earlier, the city issued a,,,,

My heart goes to South Carolina.

I think that should be the aftermath of Hurricane Jaoquine that affected islands close to USA.

[b]Its been raining crazily for some days now even before Hurricane Jaoquine. The historic downfall has caused several event cancellations and has closed numerous Low country roads. Residents are urged to stay home as much as possible.

"A flash flood warning has been extended until 11:45 a.m. for Charleston, Berkeley, Colleton and Dorchester counties. A coastal flood advisory is in effect from noon to 4 p.m. High tide is expected to occur about 2:08 p.m."


A powerful rainstorm continues to soak South Carolina. At least five deaths have been reported across the state. Several sections of interstate highways have been closed including a 70-mile portion of I-95. In the state's capital Columbia, rescue operations will continue through at least Monday. Many schools and universities have canceled Monday classes and some businesses will also be closed. Forecasters predict it could be Tuesday before the rain stops.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley says her state is experiencing a 1,000-year flood as torrential rains triggered in part by Hurricane Joaquin have inundated the state and much of the Mid-Atlantic.

It is the sort of weather event expected only once in 1,000 years, Haley told an afternoon news conference in the capital, Columbia. She called it "historic rainfall." The Congaree River, which flows south of Columbia, was at its highest level since 1936, she said.

"It's not over. We are in the middle of it. We have at least another 24 hours. There is more rain is coming," she said.

Haley emphasized that it's not like a direct hit from a hurricane, which the state has experience with, but

Rain and flood warnings for much of the U.S. East Coast continue through today. The rainfall will reach into the Southeast and the Tennessee Valley with flash-flood threats in several states, including parts of New Jersey, Georgia and North Carolina.[/b]

The rain event is caused by the occluded frontal system that has been slowly pushing it's way eastward for several days now. This front has been a real rainmaker, and it has also helped to alter the course of the tropical event - the hurricane - forming a barricade against it moving toward the US coastline. There probably is a contributory effect from the hurricane in the rain volumes experienced along the eastern seaboard, but it is slight, and difficult to quantify.

Paparazzi government of Nigeria. Holding 100% control over the media. Decides what we hear, what we see and what we dont.
President Muhammadu Kim-Kardashian Buhari's government should stop this governance by media propaganda and kindly deliver the long awaited dividends of democracy.
We are tired of the in-fighting, the propaganda, the "we will", "we shall", "we plan to". For God's sake, 4 months have passed. Companies are sacking workers, Banks are laying off workers, the economy has already lost 2.33trillion naira [1.6T from stock exchange, 310billion from the capital market folowing the JP morgan wahala and 410billion afterwards] since this new government began without a cabinet.
