I know it was due to the Hurricane. Was the flooding in Conway area an one off or does it happen yearly.
Looking to purchase a home next to a swamp. |

There have been several flooding events in Horry County over the last 20 years or so. Anywhere from Nichols, to Lees Landing, to Socastee. Definitely do your due diligence before you move to low areas. Also, be aware that even if the land doesn’t flood, the roads might.
In this picture the whole neighborhood was about window deep.  Attached File |

IIRC, not only did it pour rain in Horry County, but the storm tracked and stalled over the flood plain area that feeds the river system that runs thru Conway.
So, it was a double whammy of the perfect storm to flood Conway. Will it happen again? Maybe 1,000 year flood events don’t take 1000 years to happen again. The huge 1000 year flood in 2015 didn’t really even affect Conway. If you don’t want flood potential property, you may want to stay clear or at least chose a better site. Pay attention to the flood maps or prepare to pay for flood insurance. |

3 locations in the county that will flood are Long Ave in Conway, Socastee and Bucksport. All other locations are dependent on where the drainage is coming from. In 2018, Hurricane Florence hovered over NC and sucked up moisture from the ocean for hours. The rain was insane in NC and a week later it traveled into SC. I had seen some impressive mitigation techniques used because water levels gave time to arrange prevention. Some just accept it.

I have friends that just bought their dream place on the river that flooded. One of the new reporters stood on their roof to do part of their news segment.

It was a similar situation that happened in Oct 1-5 in 2015. Stalled tropical storm, dumped 24"+ of water over half the state, but it was the half of the state that shed water to one or two river systems.

My car became a submarine in the parking lot at work. In one hour, I had to move it 2 times.
