Luke 21:25,26 NLT “And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.”
Tropical Storm Erika collapsed before making landfall in Florida but the remnants of the storm are wreaking havoc across parts of three states.
Parts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina are being doused with torrential rains which has led to flooding and even mudslides.
“It is difficult to pinpoint exactly which locations will see the heaviest rainfall on any given day, but a general swath from the Florida peninsula to the coastal plain of the Carolinas may see heavy rainfall through the first half of the new week,” The Weather Channel said.
ABC 4 Charleston reported that 6.43 inches of rain fell by 10 a.m. making the day already the fifth wettest in the city’s history with the rest of the day to go. Schools across the region were closed and even the city’s trolley service had to be shut down by the flooding.
Fire officials said there was at least one water rescue.
They also reported a dangerous animal situation: a gator was photographed swimming down a flooded residential street. Officials even used drones to patrol the area to make sure the gator couldn’t sneak up on some of the animal control officials sent to capture it.
Much of the city of Charleston is at or just above sea level and the rainfall struck the same time as high tides.
Erika claimed 21 lives before it broke apart after crossing Cuba.
