OK. This flooding will do more damage than Hugo.

There is a river of rain coming in from the ocean over NE SC. It is a huge area around this line.
This state is washing away for real.
The rain is expected to continue for hours.

I-95 from I-20 to I-26 is closed in SC.

That's 30 miles of I-95 through this state. Gonna clog up the entire eastern seaboard.

This the US aircraft reported to have attacked the MSF hospital:

AC-130 Gunship

Weaponry is mounted to fire from the port side of the non-pressurised aircraft. During an attack the gunship performs a pylon turn, flying in a large circle around a target, allowing it to fire for far longer than conventional attack aircraft. The AC-130H Spectre was armed with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons, one Bofors 40mm autocannon, and one 105 mm M102cannon; after 1994 the 20 mm cannons were removed for most missions. The upgraded AC-130U "Spooky" has a single 25 mm GAU-12 Equalizer in place of the Spectre's twin 20 mm cannons, an improved fire control system, and increased ammunition capacity. New AC-130Js based on the MC-130J Combat Shadow II special operations tanker were planned as of 2012. The AC-130W is armed with one 30 mm Bushmaster cannon, AGM-176 Griffinmissiles, and GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs.[6]

The rains have come again.

The downpour is so loud that Moonpie woke with a loud, startled MEOW. She is now snuggled firmly by my side.


Gonna warsh away.
