Coastal Flood in Southern Colleton, South Carolina

Several buildings along Docksite Road are flooded with several inches of water in the buildings. Flood waters are coming from Big Bay Creek due to coastal flooding.

Major coastal flooding impacted portions of the southeast South Carolina coast as astronomical high tides were elevated due to the perigee and a new moon cycle. Tides were driven higher due to the presence of favorable northeast winds as the region was situated between high pressure to the north and Tropical Cyclone Sally which made landfall near the Alabama and Florida state line.
