The visual impact is striking, illustrating the force of nature and the challenges faced by residents and emergency services alike.
### Key Highlights from the Report
- Intense Conditions: Constant rainfall has left many roads washed away, completely submerged under water, and closed off from public use. This poses serious issues for evacuation efforts and local mobility.
- Urgent Concerns: Officials are closely monitoring three primary rivers in the area, which are predicted to crest soon. There is apprehension that this could wash out important roadways, especially those leading in and out of Myrtle Beach, affecting thousands.
- Evacuations: About 60% of the county's residents have evacuated, but if the main routes remain compromised, it could prevent displaced individuals from returning home.
