Home to the University of South Carolina, Columbia recorded more than 10 inches of rain. The university was closed on Monday and the city warned residents to boil their drinking water because of a water treatment plant breach caused by the flooding.
The flooding was so bad that the city implemented a 6 p.m. curfew for Columbia residents.
