Rain Rain Stay Today

We got some much needed rainfall from this rain event today. There was a severe thunderstorm warning that was issued for the Chatham County area. That expired at 5 PM and we had just some steady rain and a few lightning strikes.

Right now, as of 6 PM we are under a Flood Advisory, not a warning. The flood adivsory means that we will have some shallow flooding of low lying roads. This is an advisory that is not life threatning by any means. Just be careful and don't drive into flooded roadways as you need only two feet of water to float your car. You only need 6" of rain to be swept away with running water.

We'll keep you posted. If you have any pictures of the weather, email them to us at weather@myskidawayisland.com and we will feature them in our blog.
