The following is a press release from Dorchester County Government

Charleston County Emergency Management is monitoring Tropical Storm Idalia. According to the National Weather Service, it is likely to become a major hurricane before reaching the Gulf coast of Florida. The main threats to Charleston County from Idalia include heavy rain, potential extreme flooding, rip currents, and possible gusty winds from Wednesday to Thursday. King Tides this week will increase coastal flooding along with any rain from the storm.

Charleston County leaders have been in communication with the National Weather Service, state, and local leaders as we continue to watch and prepare for potential impacts from Idalia.
