Yea so I ride my bike to/from the hospital everyday. Well today the bottom fell out, and it rained like crazy all afternoon. Luckily it slacked off some for a short enough time when I got off in order for me to get home....note I didn't bring a rain coat to work today. Smart, I know. Apparently Charleston is below sea level as is, and doesn't handle lots of rain (or high tide) very well. So....this means some parts of the city disappear during these circumstances. My street happens to be one of them! Had to get off the bike and walk it for about a block.....in knee deep water. And I'm not exaggerating!! Luckily about two doors down from my apt the street trends uphill, so my place is dry! I'm on the third floor anyway so I think I'd have been ok anyway, but still...glad there isn't 3ft of water outside my door! Hopefully my doorstep will always stay dry when it rains!
