Several feet of water had caused vehicles to stall in downtown Charleston and water has inundated some homes and buildings in the area, according to the National Weather Service. At least two to four additional inches of rain was expected by noon. Barbara Vaughn, a Charleston city spokeswoman, said several people were rescued from stranded cars there.

that's almost unbelievable.
In NJ we have not gotten much rain. It is cold and dreary but not to complain.
(altho I am inland, and don't know if there is coastal flooding.)
