Johns Island has been out since 4:30 am.

(My power came back on around 11:30am. I pray for those who have suffered damages and are still without power or water).

Woke up in Mt Pleasant this morning with tornados spotted to the north, south and east of me all within a few miles. Never lost power tho. Evidently we had one pretty strong band come through... maybe a two hour deal. That was the extent of it

Greenwood is 100% without electricity. Could be days. Have to remove a lot of fallen trees before crews can reach where they need to go.

Upstate folks can forget about it... It's gonna be probably a week for most people aroud here. There are trees laying over lines all around the place. They say they really don't even know where to start.

Agreed. Just little Laurens and Clinton looks like a war zone. Lots of spaghetti power lines on the ground.

My power was back on by 11:30am yesterday, which I'm very thankful for. I have family in the Augusta, GA area and it sounds like a warzone from what I've been told. My dad is still without power or water. The damage in his neigborhood sounds like a tornado must have been involved, but I never heard any reports of any touching down there.

Mind boggling the amount of destruction from 1 storm .I’ m thankful to be retired from the insurance business.Likely a shift coming from everybody moving near the coast to more inland.The cost of homeowners insurance will be unaffordable for many in coastal areas if you can find it.

Be in prayers for those you see in inland areas that are flooded because most if not all of those people do not carry flood insurance

Not too far, they live in Five Forks. Still no power. May not have power for several more days.
Feels that way here in Laurens, too. I'm not aware of a single place that has power. If it goes too much longer, it's going to get ugly. No grocery stores or ways to get essentials. A few places have opened their doors to allow some items to be bought with cash only.

It’s times like this that make you appreciate simple things like a hot shower or bag of ice.
I remember when Hugo hit all the Sumter community pulled together.It would be a shame for that not to happen in todays divided world

Still no power in Mauldin. Huge trees and powerlines on the main road outside my neighborhood and they have just started to address the trees today so no telling how long of a timeline for reconstructing the powerlines.

Keep the faith. There are finally signs of life in Laurens and Clinton. Most people are still without power, but they are apparently prioritizing some areas of commerce.

Power came back on Saturday morning in parts of Chapin. Grateful that I was one of the lucky ones though I have 2 huge trees down in backyard, damaged gutters and fence. Feel so bad for the upstate and especially Western NC

We lost power for about 34 hours and internet for about 40 hours. Thankfully I have a generator I wire into my main panel to run the house. Except I do not run the AC or water heater. We are in the Lower Richland/Horrel Hill area.

Power came on about 6:45 pm yesterday. Glad too since I use a cpap. With sleep apnea, you stop breathing during the night. USUALLY, you make it through the night. But, I have never been a fan of Russian Roulette.

My sister’s family in Simpsonville has been told their power will likely be restored Wednesday or Thursday but could be until Friday.

How much do you weigh? 🙂
Interesting question Jacque. I'm almost reluctant to tell you for fear of reading your response. 157.

Jacque, to veer away from your question: Are you originally from Greenwood? When I played high school football, I remember us playing Pinky Babb's Greenwood High football team. I remember lining up against those boys. They looked like the Green Bay Packers. And, it felt like we were playing the Green Bay Packers. And they beat us like they were the Green Bay Packers.

I asked because I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I hit 261 LB. I got down to 225 and it went away along with my snoring. I moved to Greenwood when I was 24. I played football for Decatur High School in Decatur Alabama.

Thanks. My sleep apnea was rated mild or moderate. The number was in the single digit. I think it was 6. I feel sure I could do without the cpap. But, I'm used to it. So, I continue.

I spent the night in a sleep lab hooked up to multiple monitors. They said they would wake me up and put on a cpap if they detected apnea. In the morning they said I had several events but my oxygen level never went below 88% so they didn't wake me. Funny about you getting used to cpap. My brother bought one at a yard sale on a lark because he's never had apnea. Now he's addicted to it and can't sleep without it. 🙂

That's amazing about your brother. That happened to me once. We were out of town visiting family. I took my cpap with me. But I did not unpack it. I could not fall asleep. I got up around midnight when everyone else was asleep to go to the car to get it. But these 2 nights without power, I had no trouble falling asleep without it.
