Although some rivers remained high along South Carolina's coast, the worst of the flooding has ended, and residents have begun the long process of cleaning up.
The cleanup efforts follow days of disastrous flooding, but as that water flowed downstream and toward the coast, some residents were still being told that river levels could remain high and keep some neighborhoods flooded.
The latest:
- More than 300 roads and bridges still closed across the state, according to the Associated Press.
- I-95 southbound has been completely reopened; 16-mile stretch of northbound lanes expected to reopen late Monday or early Tuesday.
- City of Columbia slowly getting water system fixed; more boil water advisories lifted over the weekend.
- Death toll currently stands at 19 in South Carolina.
- Two people arrested for looting damaged homes in Richland County, according to WIS-TV.
- IRS has also warned residents to look out for scammers; do not give Social Security numbers or credit card/bank account information to anyone.
