Horry County Prepares to Deal with Flooding into Next Week

HORRY COUNTY, (AP)–Residents in Horry County will have to deal with river flooding into early next week. The National Weather Service in Wilmington reported Wednesday that the Waccamaw River was flooding in Conway and that could worsen by Monday.

The Weather Service warns the rising water will flood the Conway Marina and that that railroad trestles in downtown Conway will also be threatened. Dozens of roads in Horry County are already closed because of storm flooding.

Some areas in the Pee Dee of South Carolina received 15 inches of rain as the storm passed through last week.
