More than 35cm (13 inches) has dropped in three days in Charleston’s historic city.

Schools will remain close on Monday and several inter-state highways are closed.

The thunderstorm isn’t anticipated to strike at the eastern US, but the wetness connected with it’s leading to significant rain.

“We haven’t found this amount of rain in the low state in 1,000 years.

Ms Haley encouraged residents to stay indoors.

“The water isn’t safe and lots of places around the state in which you see this deep water, it is got bacteria inside. Thus, stay inside and do not get in there,” she said.

The move means local and state authorities can receive federal help manage the flood.

“State and local authorities have every ambulance in the county out reacting to calls.
