I looked at Wayne's wind map and you can see it quite well.
You also get a good look at the wind we have.

My son (and his family) in Mt. Pleasant, SC are experiencing some
serious flooding, roof damage, leaks, etc. and he's in a recently
constructed house.

They have had 12 inches of rain in a very short period of time with more
to come.

Hopefully he's come out of it OK. We're just outside of Columbia, and were fortunate. My house is on a hill, so we're dry and only had power blink a couple of times. Last count there are nearly 60 roads closed in the area due to flooding and washouts. Probably half a dozen dams were breached. The train trestle across the Broad River in Columbia has about half of the concrete pilings under it washed away. It'll take a couple of years to fix, if it's ever fixed at all.

They opened 3 of 4 flood gates on Lake Murray to keep it under full pool. It was the first time since 1969 that they had been opened for a weather related event. They were flowing over 8 million gallon a minute!
