Since Hurricane Joaquin bumped up against a large severe storm system that was already headed to the area, South Carolina has been so inundated with a “thousand-year rain” that coffins are rising to the surface and floating around in cemeteries.

Gov. Chris Christie declared a State of Emergency in New Jersey, although he added it was too soon to effectively predict whether the storm was a direct disaster threat to the residents. “We are not quite yet sure about whether this is going to be a single punch or a double punch,” he said. “There’s no question that there’s going to be a single punch that is going to start this evening.”
