HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Rivers levels are continuing to rise in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Debby, and areas in Horry County like Socastee and Conway are feeling the effects of the high water.
Water levels rose at a fast pace on Thursday at the Rosewood boat landing in Socastee.
Several Conway roads closed ahead of flooding from Tropical Storm Debby
“This happens every so often, and it’s just devastating, especially for the people down here.” Rosewood Drive resident Alan Coulombe said.
Rosewood Drive sits near the Intracoastal Waterway, and many people who live in the area told News13 they don’t plan to leave. Many, however, have moved their vehicle out of harm’s way.
Johnny Dozier, who has lived in the area for three years, said this is his family’s first flood experience and that they’re a little worried.
“Sit on the back porch and we’re watching the water in the backyard rising,” Dozier said. “Each [of] the last couple of days, we’ve watched it and marked it with a stick, and it’s moving fast.”
