Nancy Mace Finds Her ‘Death Goddess’
Authorities evacuated parts of the coastal city after a portable seawall failed during a late-night storm, triggering flooding along the waterfront. Emergency crews reported multiple road closures and swift-water rescues as water levels climbed, with one major highway briefly shut down for safety assessments.
City officials announced a temporary suspension of non-essential operations as engineers inspect the flood barriers and pump stations. Residents were advised to seek higher ground and avoid uncertain debris-filled streets, while shelters were set up at community centers to assist displaced residents.
Officials say the incident is under investigation, with preliminary findings suggesting material wear contributed to the breach. Crews promised a full review of procurement processes, maintenance schedules, and contingency planning to prevent a repeat during future storms.
