VIDEO: Tidal Flooding on the Battery in Downtown Charleston

Our partners at Live 5 News have been covering the high tide flooding all morning along the battery in Downtown Charleston. 

The winter storm off the coast has been pushing wind and rain on-shore. That in combination with moon high tide has given Charleston an 8 foot high tide which is a major flood event. The storm is pushing wind and water into the harbor giving us an effect similar to a storm surge during a hurricane. 

Watch some of the videos and see the waves crashing along the battery walls. 

Street Closures

Many streets are currently closed due to the flooding event. Follow the CharlestonPD for updates.
