South Carolina Suffers and Braces for More Flooding

Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

The Rivers are rising to historic levels as dams break with others at the brink.  The death toll has risen to 17 in the Carolinas with no end in site to the massive flooding as most of the waterways have not reached their crest.   

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley says state wildlife officials have made at least 600 rescues during the flooding that has ravaged the state.

She says the central area of the state is recovering as the waters recede, but officials are keeping a close eye on the southeastern part of the state.

She added 62 dams across the state are being monitored and 13 had already failed.

More than 400,000 state residents were under a “boil water advisory” affecting about 16 water systems, said Jim Beasley, a spokesman for the S.C. Emergency Response Team.

The damage in South Carolina is still being assessed and numbers are up in the air regarding how many have lost homes and their businesses.  Costs in recovery are being estimated at close to a billion and will not be truly known until the flooding recedes.

  1. I know you don’t want to hear this, but it’s hard to feel sorry for South Carolina -or North Carolina. They didn’t feel sorry when calamity struck Jim Bakker and PTL. And I know you don’t want to hear this, but Florida’s next. They didn’t feel sorry for Terri Schiavo, and when calamity comes they will cry to God but he will not hear their cries and he will not spare Florida.
