Coastal Storms Cause Major Flooding, Charleston Deals with Rising Waters
Coastal storms in the Lowcountry caused major flooding and beach erosion, washing away seawalls, docks, and private piers. Emergency management crews are clearing the beachfront of debris, while homeowners are dealing with severe erosion near their homes. Ongoing projects to address erosion and flooding have been washed out, and the area is facing worse impacts than a previous hurricane. Despite the setback, the community is determined to rebuild.
