My Publix cashier today lives in Edisto. She was telling me there would be no electricity for at least a week and probably longer.

I'm hoping to hear people's experiences coming back from Greenville/Spartanburg area as to the traffic conditions.

Also, when most evacuees plan to return. We planned to come home in the morning, but if the interstate is bogged down with incoming traffic we may change our mind.
Guy next door to me got back late Monday from Tenn. and said that the drive between Spartanburg and Columbia was pretty bad as well as Columbia to Charleston.
