Police departments in Charleston and Mount Pleasant began reopening streets as flooding subsided Tuesday evening, after a line of heavy storms dumped large amounts of preciptation over the area for more than four hours, beginning around 1 p.m. Flash flooding is very unsafe. Although a few spotty heavy showers are still occurring, weather radar and rain gages show that most of the heavy rains have ended. Isolated flood issues are a concern.
