Red Cross – Flooding
The Carolinas have been flooded. They need some help recovering from some massive rain fall a few days ago. There are still some 250 roadways and over 100 bridges closed across the states.
“The Red Cross has mounted a massive relief operation in response to historic flooding and rainfall in South Carolina and areas of North Carolina. More than 24 inches of rain have fallen in parts of South Carolina – one of the most extensive and intense periods of rain in the history of the Southeast United States. Tens of thousands of people have been impacted.
The Red Cross has opened 35 shelters across multiple states and mobilized nearly 700 workers and over 27 emergency response vehicles to respond to families in need. Additional supplies and disaster workers are on the way.
Emergency crews are still busy rescuing residents from inundated neighborhoods and dealing with broken waterlines, more than 500 impassable roads and recovering from 30,000 power outages. Flash flood watches remain in effect throughout South Carolina and rivers are expected to continue rise with the risk of dam compromises over the next several days – that means that residents are still in danger.”
