Police told local South Carolina outlets someone drove the SUV to the shoreline “to see how far they could take it.”
John Bacon, Eric Connor and Jordan CulverCHARLESTON, S.C. – Parts of historic Market Street were under a foot of water, and gusting winds blew rain sideways Thursday as Hurricane Dorian continued its unrelenting advance on the U.S. coast, days after devastating parts of the Bahamas.
"It is still a very dangerous storm," McMaster said Thursday afternoon."It is impossible to predict exactly where it is going to go and what is going to happen."The center warned the storm "continues to lash the coast of the Carolinas," and hurricane conditions are likely over portions of the area later Thursday.
“They’re just going to continue to get more and more rain, so you’re going to get more street flooding, and some of the rivers could flood, as well,” Graham said. Cooper said a man fell to his death from a ladder while preparing his Columbus County home for the storm. At least 20 deaths in the Bahamas have been linked to Dorian.
Derek Bellinger and his family stayed despite the evacuation order. Bellinger said they stockpiled four cases of water, enough food to fill a freezer and 25 gallons of gas to power a generator. He said they were not leaving – and he was not too worried about Dorian.
