I made it to a little town called Shallotte last night and I am now just 10 miles from being able to leave North Carolina! After looking at all the warnings and flooding footage, i have decided to make a run for the South Carolina border today. I am hoping to get 18 miles south and cross into South Carolina. The town of Little River has likely been renamed big river, but the Days Inn is open and above water so im goin’!☺?
Epic rainfall totals have already fallen all over the eastern Carolinas, with Charleston leading the charge at 15″, but flooding on route 17 has been limited thus far….and that’s my route to Little River, and then Myrtle Beach on Monday.
Wish me luck! It’s gonna be another wet one!
