NEGa Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Wow what a storm - hard to believe all the flooding in sc. Winds have been howling here - power is out and has been for hours. Think the entire town is with out power. Rain total was about 7.5". The yards are a mess with leaves and limbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snow for you Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 They are going to close all bridges between Columbia and west Columbia and they are going to open up the dam at lake Murray. I can not imagine the amount of water they are about to release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 i can imagine how many houses that they are about to flood. Damned if ya do damned if ya don't ( no pun intended), flood a few hoping to save a lot or hold on and see of the dam holds but understanding a lot more flood if it doesnt......sucks.

If lake murray damn breached, it would over for columbia very quickly. It is (at one time) largest earth dam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went through a similar thing back in 2010 and we had widespread 15+ amounts. Just watching so much water knowing theres nothing you can do is pretty bad. Imagine if the hurricane had made landfall the amount of tree damage would have been beyond anything anyone has seen in decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to open the Kerr/Bugg Island lake dam to keep it from breaching which caused massive flooding downstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
