A “once-in-a-millennium” downpour has flooded large parts of South Carolina, causing at least seven deaths.
The storm had dumped more than 18 inches (45 cm) of rain in parts of central South Carolina by early Sunday. The state climatologist forecast another 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) through Monday as the rainfall began to slacken.
If you are affected by the storm in South Carolina, we’d like to hear from you. We’re interested in photographs of areas both before and after they have been affected by any severe weather. We’ll include a selection of photographs and videos on the site.

Though we’d like to hear from you, your safety and security is most important. When responding to this assignment, please make sure you put your safety and the safety of others first. Extreme weather events can be very unpredictable and carry very real risks.
