SOUTH CAROLINA FLOODS: 20_0_478_1web_rh13a

People crowd to make space on the back of a SC National Guard cargo vehicle during evacuations 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.
