6PM to 6AM curfew in Columbia. Everything in SC from Columbia down to Charleston appears to be a flooded disaster.

Search hashtag #SCflood on twitter for some stunning images.

I haven't seen flooding like that around here since WNC was devastated by Ivan and Frances in 2004.

yeah you'll be fine. it appears that all the flood rains went south of Charlotte and just stayed between Columbia and Charleston. Columbia's a disaster. A few of my USC friends had to evacuate their apartments

One of my most "And-1d" posts came from suggesting that idea in a stickied news thread when they first announced the favorite team icons. At the time they said it wasn't possible or something. Cool to have it though.

great. thanks!

anyone here savvy enough and have the time to use a youtube downloader and host the file somewhere? I'd love to see this video and would be thankful for that.

in short, everyone from the Miami-based Dan Le Batard show (except Le Batard himself) openly root against LeBron and the Cavs and it tends to make for some hilarious radio.

Thanks!

Doing it manually by changing the proxy altogether hadn't worked out. This works great. Will use it in the future.

So this apparently happened in Gastonia. WTF!? Guy filming is a moron as well. Any better videos of this event?
