River Flood Warnings for Columbia<\/b><\/p>\n
The National Weather Service has issued warnings for Richland and Lexington county. The Congaree River is experiencing flooding due to the heavy rains received in the previous weeks. The warning is in effect until Tuesday, the 10<\/span>th<\/span>, or until otherwise notified. Officials advise residents of both counties to avoid flood prone areas and avoid driving through water.<\/span><\/p>\n This is one of many flood warnings Columbia has received this year. According to the NWS Columbia averaged roughly seven inches of rain during the month of March. This year, Columbia has averaged nearly 13 inches through the first week of March.\u00a0 Thursday, the 5<\/span>th<\/span>, the flood stage was around nine feet, at 10 feet flood prone areas in Columbia and Cayce become difficult to traverse.<\/span><\/p>\n Students at the University of South Carolina have felt the effects on the rain. UofSC Junior, Mackenzie Boggs expressed her frustration with the amount of rain by saying \u201cI know that when it rains it\u2019s a lot harder to find parking spots\u2026I\u2019ve definitely been leaving my house 15-20 minutes early.\u201d UofSC junior, Darcy Goode, said that all of the rain has had a \u201cdepressing vibe\u201d to it and that she struggles to find motivation to go to class in the mornings.<\/span><\/p>\n The good news is that brighter days are ahead of Columbia. Sunny skies are predicted Friday the 6<\/span>th<\/span>through Sunday the 8<\/span>th<\/span>, according to the NWS. It seems as though UofSC students just had to weather the storm(s) to make it to Spring Break.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.91″ custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” next_background_color=”#000000″ inner_width=”auto” inner_max_width=”none”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”90%” max_width=”1080px”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”2px|0px|37.9062px|0px” prev_background_color=”#000000″ inner_width=”auto” inner_max_width=”none”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px|0px|18.9531px|0px” custom_margin=”10px|||” _builder_version=”3.0.92″ width=”90%” max_width=”1080px”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”News Story” _builder_version=”4.3.4″ custom_margin=”0px||0px|” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”] River Flood Warnings for Columbia The National Weather Service has issued warnings for Richland and Lexington county.
