NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – North Myrtle Beach officials give warning to returning evacuees regarding flash flooding.
While Florence continues to weaken, the storm remains a tropical depression and is pushing rain into Horry County. It’s going to continue to be a part of a lot of lives over the next few days. For those coming home from evacuation starting at 9 a.m. Sunday, North Myrtle Beach officials warn to be very careful and plan your route in advance.
Both SCDOT and NCDOT have sites offering current, known road closure information. Another dilemma following a storm with great amounts of rain is river flooding. Sometime next week, that scenario may unfold in Horry County.
For those returning to an area that was impacted by river flooding in Matthew, be aware that you could see similar or worse river flooding impacts from Florence in coming days. If you live adjacent to areas that were flooded following Matthew, be aware that the volume of rain associated with Florence may lead to river flooding impacting your location this time around.
