Could that possibly have anything to do with neighborhoods that used to not flood, flooding lately?

Tight lines says this is a myth, but I don’t agree. When you fill in so many areas of wetlands and you get a major wet period the water doesn’t soak In on the new “high land” as much used to do. Instead it runs off causing flooding in areas that did not before. Of course I have no scientific proof of this just common sense reasoning.
Where is this wetland fill occurring? It is highly regulated and flat out isn’t happening today. Fill within floodplains does occur and is beginning to be regulated and mitig
You want to talk man-made floods?

They provide the reason for the flooding & then try to blame it on climate change

In December, the Trump Departments of Education and Justice rescinded the Obama-era disciplinary guidance. A federal safety commission found the Obama-era policy “may have paradoxically contributed to making schools less safe.”
Some education policy experts have observed the Broward County school district’s policy that includes consideration of race and minority status where discipline is concerned, inspired the Obama administration’s guidance and may have played a role in the fact that Nikolas Cruz remained under the radar until his shooting rampage in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, 2018.

The article doesn’t prove anything beyond the fact that the author had a single Liberal teacher in school that didn’t do a good job of keeping his political views to himself. If you or the author would claim that doesn’t happen both ways you would both be liars. He briefly goes on a tangent about the importance of history classes when they have little to do with his article. He fails to recognize that he might not have learned about communism/Stalin/Cold War in public school because he did not YET take a class on those subjects then he acts like private school enlightened him.

Cause with all the people from all over moving into Charleston causing it to grow it only means our school systems will be burdoned even more. Maybe yes?

Similar to the removal of numerous other protections for clean water and air proposed by this administration under the guise of “regulatory relief,” a proposed change in the Clean Water Act will have large biological, ecological and human health effects. If we substitute “removing “protections” for “regulations,” it gives the general public a clearer understanding of what’s at stake for human health and our environment.
Many important ecosystem components would be subject to conversions (e.g., filling, damming, development, etc.) under the proposed change without any avoidance, minimization or potential compensatory mitigation for the losses.
These ecosystem components include headwater streams (the uppermost streams in a river network, some of which flow only part of the time). According to an EPA report, these streams, which account for up to 60 percent of streams nationwide, help drain floodwaters, recharge groundwater supplies, help remove pollution, provide fish and wildlife habitats, sustain the health of downstream rivers, lakes and bays, play a critical role in maintaining the quality and supply of our drinking water and ensure a continual flow of surface waters. Headwater streams also provide critical food chain items not found anywhere else in the stream system.
Also removed from protection under the proposed rule change are “isolated wetlands.” This is an often-used but oxymoronic term. They are not isolated ecologically or hydrologically, but may not have a clear surface connection to flowing waters. These wetlands provide flood protection, filter pollution, help recharge critical groundwater reserves and provide essential wildlife habitat. In the Carolinas, these areas include iconic and disappearing ecotypes like Carolina Bays and pocosins that often support rare and endangered plants and animals. Catastrophic flooding that has caused millions of dollars of damage in North Carolina and South Carolina can be largely attributed to losses of these systems to development.

I’m sad to say the developers have won. Hard to come to terms with but I am honestly glad to put Charleston in the rearview. North Georgia is our new home.

Tight lines I’m doing a little work near poplar grove near red top. You should see the number of dump truck hauling dirt from a huge borrow pit to fill in “wet” areas. Marsh and swamp. The amount of dirt pits in and around this area is crazy and it’s not just happened during Trumps time as Polly seems to think. This “little” prodject has been in the works for over 20 years. This is just a small sample of all the nonsense all across our coast. It’s happening all right.
