We need your help to document impacts from Hurricane Joaquin this weekend!

Coastal areas in the Carolinas might experience major flooding this weekend, partly thanks to Hurricane Joaquin, which the National Hurricane Center forecasts to travel along the Eastern Seaboard. According to a blog post by Dr. Hal Needham, a "complex interaction between Hurricane Joaquin, a pre-existing cold-front, and a building dome of high pressure" will result in a widespread storm surge event along the East Coast.

We need your help to document local conditions and impacts in your area this weekend that might result from Hurricane Joaquin! If you experience severe weather, please submit reports through the Significant Weather Report on CoCoRaHS website. Additionally, you can also include any impacts from Hurricane Joaquin in your reports. Photos can be sent to cisa@sc.edu. As usual, please let us know if you have any questions.
