COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCBD) -- Governor Henry McMaster (R) is requesting President Biden issue a major disaster declaration for South Carolina after heavy rainfall caused severe flooding across portions of the state in November. Severe storms swept through the eastern Midlands and areas of the Lowcountry between Nov. 6 and Nov. 14, bringing significant flash flooding. Calhoun and Orangeburg counties each received more than 12 inches of rain over a 24-hour period. FEMA damage assessments determined that approximately 100 homes were damaged and costs related to infrastructure damage are projected to be more than $11 million, according to the governor's office. "The storm and resulting flooding tragically caused two deaths, as well as significant damage in at least three counties," McMaster wrote in a Dec. 12 letter to the administration. "The three counties most significantly impacted by the heavy rainfall and riverine flooding also experienced damage in connection with Tropical Storm Debby in August and Hurricane Helene in September." If approved, the declaration would allow Bamberg County and Orangeburg County residents who suffered uninsured damages to their property to receive direct, individual financial assistance. The request also seeks approval for the FEMA Public Assistance Program in Bamberg, Calhoun, and Orangeburg Counties, which reimburses state and local governments for a portion of costs incurred during recovery efforts.
