Between 5 to 10 feet of water is expected to inundate Georgetown and surrounding communities by late this week as the Pee Dee and Waccamaw rivers burst their banks along the low-lying tidal flats where they converge at Winyah Bay, which flows into the Atlantic.

State transportation crews have been working to erect temporary dams on either side of U.S. Highway 17, the main coastal route through the area, and National Guard engineers have been installing a floating bridge at Georgetown in case the highway is washed out at the river.
