That looks like Charleston (somewhere south of Broad St), not Cola (and I went to school in Chucktown...)
Edit: I was right. From Charleston, taken last Saturday...

News that there are dam breaches, curfews, water distribution centers, residents boiling their own water, Port-O-Lets being delivered to fraternity and sorority houses, fire department pumping water into the hosipitals so they don't have to be evacuated, cars with water over the tops.......But "they are fine".
They do not lack water they lack water pressure and the concern was last night. The fire department has been pumping water in so they are fine.

Rescue crews went door to door in South Carolina's capital city of Charleston Monday morning, as officials continued to free residents were trapped by severe flooding that swamped virtually the entire state.
"There's probably around 100 people in the West Columbia area still trapped in their homes," said Wyatt Coleman, West Columbia Fire Chief, in a Monday morning interview with The Weather Channel. Sunday marked the wettest day in the city of Columbia's history, according to The National Weather Service.

At least nine people have died from the floods in South Carolina since the rain began to fall days ago, Gov. Nikki Haley said during a Monday press conference. During the press briefing, Gov. Haley also said:
40,000 residents are without water and 26,000 remain without power
More than 150 water rescues have been performed
1,300 National Guardsmen are on duty and have performed 25 aerial rescues so far
550 roads and bridges are closed, and more are expected to close as floodwaters move toward the sea
Evacuations should be expected in parts of the Lowcountry as floodwaters move downstream
"Catastrophic flooding continues," wrote the National Weather Service's Charleston office in a Monday morning forecast discussion. Making matters worse, a wind advisory has been issued for some parts of the Palmetto State, and with all this saturated ground, there's a big fear that trees will blow over, adding another threat for pedestrians and drivers.

I would not classify those dams as major

It will be fixed in the next day or two

While rain has stopped falling in South Carolina, the deadly storm continues to bring devastation, with numerous dams breached and damage expected to top $1 billion.
Numerous dams have been breached, bridges collapsed and hundreds of roads were inundated with floodwaters, causing emergency evacuations.
President Obama has signed a disaster declaration for federal aid to help with recovery efforts, and more than 1,300 National Guard members have been deployed in the state.
The storm is blamed for at least 13 deaths.
More than 500 roads in the state were severely damaged by the storm.
About 40,000 people in the state still do not have drinking water, and tens of thousands remain without power.

I need some on the ground, real time reporting from those in Columbia as to the devastation they see. Especially the areas surrounding campus and downtown.

Thanks. I wonder what part of the state.
