February 2016
Members of Linworth UMC returned to South Carolina on February 6th to continue aid to a homeowner
in their recovery from the October 2015 flood. The October 2015 North American storm complex
was an extratropical storm that triggered a high precipitation event, which caused historic flash
flooding across North and South Carolina. The event culminated in South Carolina on October 4
when numerous rivers burst their banks, washing away roads, bridges, vehicles, and homes.
