  impacting areas from North Charleston south through Downtown
  Charleston and extending into the Atlantic. This band will bring
  additional heavy rainfall and flooding across central Charleston
  County, including Downtown Charleston. Widespread flooding has
  been reported in many areas. The combination of extremely high
  tides combined with heavy rain has resulted in widespread,
  dangerous flooding in Downtown Charleston. Much of the Charleston
  peninsula remains closed and will remain so until further notice.
  Areas from Calhoun Street south to the Battery as well as the
  Hospital District are severely flooded. Travel into the Downtown
  Charleston area IS NOT ADVISED due to dangerous flooding
  conditions. Outside of Downtown Charleston, additional flooding
  will occur across parts of Colleton, Berkeley an Dorchester
  counties.

  This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Downtown Charleston. This is a
  PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!

  Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Goose
  Creek, Hanahan, Edisto Beach and Middleton Place.

life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are
fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.
