A tree washed into the Waccamaw River by rains in February got snagged at the Heritage Plantation Marina.
South Carolina lawmakers this week grilled operators of a series of dams in North Carolina about their responsibility for flooding in Georgetown and Horry counties over the last three years.
“There’s no lack of compassion here,” said Jeff Lineberger, director of water strategy for Duke Energy. “There is a lack of storage capacity. The reservoirs weren’t built for it.”
Duke operates two hydroelectric dams on the Yadkin River east of Charlotte. Cube Hydro, a subsidiary of Ontario Power Generation, runs four dams upstream near Salisbury, N.C. The river is part of the Pee Dee River Basin, which continues 188 miles from the dams to Winyah Bay.

It was a rainy March day and it was time for a driveabout, so I threw a heavy jacket into the car and headed northwest.
Up N.C. 67 through East Bend, I took the turn that leads across the mighty, muddy Yadkin River and stopped at the Rockford General Store to fuel up on candy. The lady behind the counter and I greeted each other through our masks.
âHowâs business?â I asked.
âSlower than usual, but not bad,â she said.
I wound up with two bags drawn from the storeâs big glass jars: one for chocolates, the other for Cherry Sours and Red Hots â which, I learned, donât actually go together as well as one might think. But they kept me alert.
