Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
northern Berkeley County. If realized, these impacts include:
    - Localized rainfall flooding could prompt a few rescues.
    - Rivers and tributaries could quickly rise with swifter
      currents. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches could
      become swollen and overflow in spots.

      vulnerable spots. Rapid ponding of water could occur at
      underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage areas. Several
      storm drains and retention ponds become near-full and begin to
      overflow. Some brief road and bridge closures.
