Rain is gone, but Chester Road still flooded
EDGEMOOR, SC (WBTV)- When the forecast calls for a lot of rain, everyone living on Raxter Road in Chester Countyknows what's coming.
Monday morning Paul Thomas he says Raxter Road was bone dry, but after all the rain we received in the area a low spot in the road was swamped with rushing water.
"You can't get across it, no sense in walking across it," said Thomas.
It's not the first time in 20 years he's lived on Raxter, the road has flooded and he's been trapped. It's low enough for him to cross in his truck, but in 1996 early in the morning he says his wife didn't have such luck.
"Didn't realize the creek was up and down the creek she went," said Thomas.
When the road floods out, nine families on Raxter are trapped for as long as the water runs.
"This is the second day this has been running," said Thomas Wednesday morning.
