Street flooding analysis tool and Lockwood Drive study
Charleston
Summary
A new public app on the GIS website lets you look up why any closed road floods — rain, tide, or both — and forecast which roads are at risk in coming days. A Lockwood Drive study found the road has flooded 443 times since 2015, roughly 37 times a year, and that just 0.2 feet of sea level rise would dramatically worsen it.
