BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Cainhoy firefighters are going door-to-door along French Quarter Creek, in Huger, Wednesday morning to encourage residents to evacuate now.
Because of the anticipated storm surge and eminent rainfall associated with Hurricane Dorian, residents along French Quarter Creek will likely experience extreme flooding.
Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis is stressing the importance of French Quarter Creek residents evacuating now, so emergency responders are not put in harm’s way in the future trying to rescue residents from their homes in extreme storm conditions.
French Quarter Creek saw extreme flooding in 2015 during the “Thousand Year Flood” in South Carolina.
Below is YouTube video showing the water level in October 2015.
Yards and roads quickly turned into lakes and only became passable with boats.
