ARTICLE: An intense band of heavy rainfall will continue across South Carolina and far southeastern North Carolina through Monday, worsening the already historic flooding that is underway.
In eastern South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina, totals will range from 12 to 24 inches, nearly half of the normal rainfall for an entire year in some areas.
"With records being broken for both rainfall and creek levels, it is easy to see why flood waters are inundating so many roads and communities," stated AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski, "and unfortunately, more rain will only worsen the life-threatening situation into Monday."
SUMMARY: This article covers how rain has been flooding North and South Carolina, enough so that the water depths are making the record books. There has been quite a bit of damage but nothing life threatening yet, though that could change. Rainfall rates could reach from 1-2 inches per hour, but it isn't certain yet.
