Hurricaine Season comes in early with Andrea 6"13

Hurricane Season has started early with the appearance of Andrea.  Thankfully she brought very little damage to the lowcountry.

A very noisy storm she came in  with strong bands of wind, high surf, and lots  of rain.
I saw some major flooding yesterday morning in the Francis Marion Forest where the Highway Patrol had to caravan cars through a mile long section of Hywy 17 which was completely flooded over.  It looked like a lake.  I couldn't see the road at all.  Very dangerous. Fortunately, the water had nearly drained off the road by the time I was returning home that evening.
 
Hyway almost back to normal by 7 pm
