Death Toll in South Carolina Rises to 9 Due to Flooding and Torrential Rain

Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Editor’s Note: Prophet Rick Joyner warns that when you see strange and extreme weather (record breaking highs, lows, floods, droughts, tornadoes, storms), it is a prophetic sign that the Revelation Days are upon us.

In a news conference on Monday, Governor Nikki Haley stated that nine people are now dead in South Carolina due to the extreme weather.

Authorities have encouraged residents to stay home the past few days as more than 25 inches of rain has fallen, causing half the state to be affected by flooding Monday morning. Dozens of roads and interstate highways are closed. Of the nine people who were killed, four were killed in traffic accidents. First responders received 910 calls for collisions since the downpour began.

Over the weekend, at least 600 National Guardsmen, 11 aircraft, and 8 swift water rescue teams performed more than 200 water rescues. Over 1,000 law enforcement and 1,000 workers for the transportation department were on duty. Two dozen shelters have opened for those displaced, and utility crews are still trying to restore power to 30,000 customers.

Gov. Haley also addressed another issue: getting clean drinking water to 40,000 people who don’t have it.

“We have quite a few water issues,” Haley said. “Either people are without water or contaminated water.”

Walmart has donated 80,000 bottles of water, and officials are setting up water distribution stations throughout the state.

State officials are calling the situation a 1,000 year storm – a reference to a weather term describing a storm with a 1-in-1,000 chance of happening in any given year. The National Weather Service reported that Sunday was the wettest day in the history of Columbia, with the rainfall total at 6.87 inches.

While the rain is slowing and will soon move out of the region, meteorologists report that as much as two inches could still fall and that most rivers will not crest for another two weeks.

Some South Carolina residents were absolutely devastated by the storm. Columbia resident, Angela Williams, told CNN that the storm destroyed her neighborhood.

“We have lost everything. What I got on my body is what we have,” she told CNN affiliate WIS-TV. “Pretty much everybody down that hill there has lost everything … our vehicles, our clothes, everything.”

She added: “But the best thing is that we still have our lives.”

  1. Hi everyone in Branson….this is Debbie in Michigan and I just had a picture someone took of lightening striking the top of the Washington Monument which 555 ft tall….a very sharp straight line from the tip up towards Heaven….A few weeks ago I watched a Tom Horn video where He explained what the background was to the tall obolis (spelling not right) which is the monument and the dome shape of the white house connected to past history, Jim can probably look into this…..I just could not believe my eyes…the caption under the picture said that they wondered if God is very upset with Washington and how this administration is tearing our country down….I still cannot hardly believe this…please tell Jim and have him check this out….may be very significant…I saved the picture on my computer….God bless and keep you all

  2. Matthew 22:39-40, And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
    I asked my mother and my sister the following question about a month ago. What do you suppose God will judge this nation on soon? She said, love. I said, yes, the lack thereof. America is full of hatred. It’s hates various races, the poor, religion, gay people, the federal government. Then I said, judgement will fall on SC. SC is symbolic of hatred and it is woven in every county.This is a warning for this state to turn from bigotry and allow God to heal it’s land.
