Meteorologist Leslie Hudson explains why officials say one simple rule could save your life: Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
Flooding can happen any time of year in South Carolina, but the risk often peaks during slow-moving thunderstorms in the spring and summer — and during tropical systems later in the year.
It’s South Carolina Severe Weather & Flood Safety Week (March 8–14). From strong storms to flooding and tornadoes, preparation makes all the difference.
