Hurricane Joaquin made South Carolina history in 2015 with the "rain train" that dumped more than 23 inches in 18 hours. This wash was a river overflowing the banks carrying leaves, dead wood, debris, and critters to where I don't know. If you can imagine - nothing but sand was left here when it was over. All the top soil in the yards had washed away. A river ran down the drive and around both sides of the house washing everything loose in its path. Water is a powerful force - don't be fooled into thinking otherwise.
@kvphoto Very scary, KV! No, but I took video after it was over of the parts of the roads missing with huge drop-offs, giant ruts in the driveway, water lines around the house, trees uprooted, etc.
(Probably partly why Clare “worries” every time I go rowing…)
@dutchothotmailcom Stay safe, Esther!
