South Carolina flooding: Dams breached, more trouble ahead

October 07, 2015 01:23

The rain may have stopped, but South Carolina is grappling with a host of new concerns. Dam breaks. Billions of dollars in damage. And rivers that still haven't crested.

"God smiled on South Carolina because the sun is out," Gov. Nikki Haley told reporters Tuesday afternoon. "That is a good sign, but I will tell you that for us, we still have to be cautious. The next 36 to 48 hours are going to be a time that we need to continue to be careful."

Haley declined to provide an estimated cost of the damage -- which she called "disturbing" -- but said state and Federal Emergency Management Agency officials were making assessments.

"It's hard to look at the loss we're going to have," she said. "This could be any amount of dollars."
