Walterboro, South Carolina

As Hurricane Joaquin hit the Carolinas, my Facebook page had a intimate look at the results from a friend in Walterboro, South Carolina. As a teacher, she not only posted information about the hurricane, but school closings for her county as well.

Counties were closed Friday October 2nd as a precautionary measure for the storm about to hit.

As the hurricane hit over the weekend, extreme flooding occurred, closing down roadways and causing people near sources of water to be asked to evacuate.

As the water recedes, today will mark for some counties the first day the haven't had to cancel or delay school in over a week as a result of Joaquin. With all the damage done, it will take a lot of work and time to repair damages done. It's quite remarkable that a single storm can cause such a nightmare for so many people.
