Flood Damage Darkens Augusta Area After Savannah River Floods
Widespread flood devastation following the Savannah River crest isolates Aiken and Clear Water areas in South Carolina. Bridges, highways, and key railroad trestles are washed out or destroyed. Officials estimate highway damage above $300,000 with temporary routes scarce as floodwaters recede. Augusta faces levee weakness and potential renewed danger despite early signs of relief. Over 2,000 travelers seek shelter in winter hotel shelters.
