In Charleston. Craziest shit I have seen preparing for Matthew.

41. I lived in Summerville for 22 years,

in a subdivision between Trolley Rd. and Ladson Rd., and was there for Hurricane Hugo. The only area that flooded even a little was near the Ashley River. Everything else is above the 100 year flood plane. I had no flooding during Hugo, but did have a little water damage around the sliding glass door from the wind driven rain.

The major danger in Summerville is the Lob-lolly Pine Trees. They are huge, very tall, and susceptible to wind. That was what caused the most damage during Hugo.

We did lose power for more than a week, even though our subdivision had underground wires, but that's because the feeder lines were above ground and many trees and light poles were down.

Do you know where your cousins are located in Summerville? I might be able to give you more info if you could tell me their location.
