Hurricane Florence aftermath continues, flooding is expected for many more days to come, until next week. Please be safe everyone.
Waccamaw River floodplain
The National Weather Service (NWS) does not have permanent gauges where the Waccamaw River originates, north of Brunswick County.
Their first permanent gauge is located 90 miles downstream of the 121-mile river, according to United States Geological Survey (USGS), in Conway, South Carolina. The bulk of Conway’s flooding will be fed by creeks, swampland and the Waccamaw River as it makes its way through southwestern Brunswick County, where no NWS permanent gauges are located.
Conway’s gauge is reporting river levels at approximately 15 feet as of 9:15 p.m. Wednesday, four feet above the area’s flood stage and three feet below the highest recorded level. Because NWS has historical and daily data from this location, it has to work backward to be able to predict, with context, what could happen upstream from this location in the coming days.
Rick Neuherz, a NWS hydrologist, predicts the Waccamaw River at Conway will crest on Sunday afternoon at 20.4 feet, 2.5 feet higher than its record.
Just four miles south of the state line upstream from Conway in Longs, South Carolina, USGS’ gauge is already breaking records. This point of the river is over one foot over its highest recorded depth and is expected to crest at 24 feet by Sunday, Sept. 23. That’s nearly seven feet higher than the 1999 record, when Category 4 Hurricane Floyd made landfall on the east coast.
“We destroyed Floyd’s record with this one,” Neuherz said. “We’re doing that in a lot of places.”
