SOUTH CAROLINA FLOODS: 14_0_490_1web_b_rh01a

Tom Giles, along with 23 members of his extended family from the Dunbar community, ride on a cargo vehicle during evacuations conducted by the SC National Guard in Georgetown, South Carolina October 9, 2015. Concerns about additional inundation in four coastal counties and more rain had officials on guard Friday, nine days after a state of emergency was declared because of historic rains that washed out roads, swamped hundreds of homes and killed 17 people in the state. Emergency management officials in several areas were encouraging residents to leave their homes as a precaution as floodwaters flow south into already-swollen rivers and tributaries toward the Atlantic Ocean.
