I’ve heard several accounts that say that Downtown’s flooding situation is indeed improving. There is even a report of a successful trip to Fast Food Row at the end of Spring Street — that’s always a plus. I still see standing water on Ashley (not hard to do, really) but things are improving there as well, and I’m hoping to hear of some street reopenings soon.
With the storm pretty much passed by and now leaving Charleston, I’m going to take a much-needed breather and…do homework. Hmmm. Blogging is more fun. 
I want to thank everyone who’s been keeping up with me the last few days. What can I say, storms excite me…haha. I’m glad that the blog was of some use, and it really blew my mind to see that people were checking it before or even in lieu of news reports! A big tip of the hat goes to Daniel Conover at the Post & Courier for pointing people this direction. It’s nice to have an audience for my excited blogging every once in a while.

Discussion of Reports: Downtown is improving is now closed
Thanks, Jared, but I’d be a fool not to point to this stuff. It’s excellent, and very useful to me as I’m trying to develop a mental picture of the local situation, minute to minute. More minds working together on the same problem is just… better.
Haha, I told you that house flooded…
Daniel: The melding of the blogs, etc. during this storm were great. I can tell you, me, and many others were able to help a lot of people in getting the important info out there. This was the first real storm that I’ve been able to track with others via the blogs, and the first storm that I’ve used Storm Watch for. It was a BIG help to have everything in one place. My parents and other friends that I showed it to thought it was quite useful as well.
Jon: The house flooding makes for some interesting photography.
It even got into the driveway last Thursday in that downpour. It was absolutely nutty! Fun to watch though, as long as I’m not driving in it…:)
