Jim Cantore Live: Flood Danger Grows In Charleston, South Carolina

we're tracking uh Debbie for you again we' moved a little bit this is bull and gadon where we were at so we're kind of on the Eastern side of the peninsula if that makes sense we're in a lower area and you can see beyond me obviously this road's closed right uh where it really as far as the eye can see there's water deep down there so the stop sign is up um so it may be a foot deep by time you get all the way down there but this area is going down and you can't really hear it but I can show you Brad's going to pan down to this pump which is actually taking the water and putting it into a manhole so you've got the tide going out and you've got pumps in different places of the city so there are several spots that are flooded there are still several roads that are closed and as a result of that obviously the curfew is still unfold so it still goes until about uh 7: a but we got a long way to go with this the real key I think the Charleston's future is is not the rain that's happening now even though just to my North and Northeast there are some heavier uh rain areas with a band that stretches out over the water we'll see what that does today so that could flood new areas plus we're still keeping an eye on the McAn Dam down there in collon County uh will that be a problem for us just got a new report in bluon South Carolina I don't know if this is an official weather station but reporting over 18 in of rain 18 in of rain with this event which is incredible and if you look at the radar estimates Dr Greg Postell that is where we find them the record for the state from a tropical system is north of 23 in and you know what brother I think we're going to get there I really do
