From the Charleston blog Xark come these photos of flooding at Rutledge and Simons, an intersection north of Hampton Park that floods regularly.
Disclosure: This is my wife, Janet Conover, blogging...
My neighbors are often on the porches eyeing things too. Our main complaint? Morons who drive through the flooded intersection at 35 miles per hour, thereby causing tiny tsunamis to crash over our sidewalks and brick coping. Thanks, idiots. I favor a lower speed limit altogether and certainly a slow-down warning at the intersection at Simons and Rutledge, when it floods. It was flooded just last Thursday and is flooded today. But people still roar through the intersection regardless. Today's high point was watching the huge Charleston Storm Water truck drive through without stopping. Twice.
If you've got a photo at your blog, or a FLICKR stream, and you want us to point to it, leave us the URL in comments...




In my neighborhood when I lived down in Florida, I posted a "NO WAKE" sign I had found near a marina. It might help!
