We'll be on HHI this Thursday and from what I can tell, the island is fine. I95 still has 70 miles closed but, according to the SCDOT website, is expected to re-open tomorrow.

Donating to displaced

I was thinking about all those displaced people and wondered if people who had t/s weeks left couldn't donate their rooms to some families. Got to figure it will be a long time before any sort of normalcy is returned. Should be a way to match up. If not for this emergency, for another in the future. Timeshares are all over the world and so are these natural disasters.
If anyone has a way to initiate some sort of program, it would be a blessing to those in need and also the giver.

95 is still closed for 70 miles. If you are planning on coming this way from up north and are near 81, you can take 81 to 26 and then pick up 95 below the closure.

Columbia is in deperate need of water. One of the companies here has donated the use of their trucks to take supplies for the next couple of days. Please consider donating to the American Red Cross to help those who were affected.

The sun was shining for the first time in a week today in Charleston! The carriages were filled with tourists and all seemed well within the Historic District except for the sound of sump pumps running to empty basements of water (yes, a lot of these old houses that are at sea level really do have basements!) The City Market was back in full swing as was King Street shopping. The restaurants I passed along the way at lunchtime seemed to have the normal amount of customers. I did find stores and restaurants over the last two days to be a bit short staffed due to schools in Dorchester and Berkeley Counties still being closed and those parents not having resources for their kids having to miss work.

My thoughts are with those who have lost friends and loved ones and/or their property and belongings. I hope no more lives are lost and the flooding is over though I know there may still be more downstream flooding nearer coastal areas tonight and tomorrow.

SC roads

Check SCDOT.org before traveling on I-95 or other SC roads to be sure that your
route is open. If you are traveling from the north to Myrtle Beach, I don't believe you would have a problem. I believe it's 74 miles between I-26 and I-20 on I-95 that's been closed and may still be. Numerous bridges are being watched now and over the weekend as more flooding may occur near the coast as river flooding continues to move on downstream. We are also due more rain this weekend but the weather forecasters are saying they don't believe it will be another "event."
