South Carolina’s governor says
rainfalls in parts of the state have been higher than at any time “in
1,000 years”, with at least six reported deaths as a result of the
floods. More than 35cm (13 inches) has fallen in three days in the
historic city of Charleston.
“We haven’t seen this level of rain in the low country in 1,000 years. That’s how big this is,” South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley said on Sunday.
Ms Haley urged residents to stay indoors. “The water is not safe and a lot of areas across the state where you see this deep water, it’s got bacteria in it. So, stay inside and don’t get in there,” she said.
