Communities around Lake Murray, local parks, and fire stations were in the path, and residents were reminded to move to interior rooms, avoid vehicles and mobile homes, and keep emergency kits ready for future storms.
• Flood advisory issued for Lexington and Richland counties until Thursday evening (thestate.com) — Lexington County is under a National Weather Service flood advisory until Thursday at 8 p.m., with flooding expected along the West Columbia and Cayce Riverwalk areas as river levels rise.
