In September when the HEAVY rains and flooding hit the SE coast we were at Johns Island for several days waiting it out. It not only rained at the coast but flooding of rivers occurred well inland also. There was also an extreme high lunar tide. The end result was huge amounts of water coming down the rivers and ending up in the AICW. From Charleston area to past Georgetown you could not avoid the flotsam. It was continuous strings of logs, boards, clumps of grass the size of a dinghy as well as anything else that would semi float when the exceptionally high water levels moved it along on it's trip to the sea. Several weeks later the King tide got the stuff the first high water missed. Fun on the water.
