...eight -- possibly nine -- dams have failed so far..

3. Thank you for being compassionate, despite

the losers that run our local governments down here. In other words, thank you for letting compassion overrule schadenfreude. Not all of us voted for the Repubs down here.

My area had flooding, but nothing as bad as in SC. I'm on the NC/SC border in the central part of NC, about 50 miles north of the worst flooding. It's squishy outside and everything is waterlogged and my yard is not in a flood plain. I was very lucky with the wind too. A largish birch tree fell on a neighbor's roof and damaged it. He has it tarped while he is cutting the tree away. It's too soggy and continuously still raining to be able to say there won't be more flooding. I mean, it is STILL raining and it rained off and on the two weeks before this system formed. It just will not quit raining. It is training over the worst affected areas also.
