Forgot to mention in the post below about storm damage. I 26 closure due to river being up to the bottom of the bridges and hwy. Dept. worried about damage they could not see. A number of years ago this area i/n the upstate has 13 inches of rain in a short time with river flooding and a section of an ole abandoned steel bridge washed away. I went over to a nearby town on that river to a modern highway bridge where the water was up near the bottom of the bridge and starting to eat away at the bank under the bridge. You could feel the vibration of the heavy flow of water. The bridge survived. I don't know the location of the bridge washing out in Spartanburg, but someone drove into the hole there and a woman drowned. This was a culvert, not a bridge.
Senator Graham says the damage will be over a Billion dollars in the state. I think it is too soon to make an estimate but time will tell.
It's amazing the number of people who drive around barricades and along flooded roads. There is a youtube video of a big truck in Sumter, SC driving along a flooded road and getting out where the road starts to rise. He was driving in waer over the wheels and almost up to the bottom of the trailer. I will leave it to truckers on here to comment about damage to the truck, but this illustrates how wide spread flooding was since Sumter is a considerable distance from Columbia.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
