SCIUTTO: Happening right now, Carolina residents continuing to brace for more flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. Half of the counties in South Carolina could still be impacted by flood waters all these days later. CNN's Nick Valencia joins me now live from Conway, South Carolina. Tell us what you're seeing there.</s>NICK VALENCIA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Jim, this has been described by residents here as a slow motion disaster. This water is just slowly creeping into the neighborhoods and surrounding areas here. We're standing in front of the Waccamaw River, which is increasing. In fact, it's two feet higher than it was at this point yesterday. And the community here, they're just exhausted. They're tired. This would be the second major flood in 10 days. Of course, that flash flooding from Hurricane Florence the first time around. It's also the fourth major flood in the last five years. And the local emergency management team here tells me that it's just getting progressively worse. But they are doing the most they can to prepare. The National Guard is here. Federal resources have arrived. There's giant sandbags here as well as pumps to get out that water that eventually is going to come in. They are particularly concerned about a coal ash pond, which is just a few hundred yards away from where we're standing. They've brought in an inflatable dam, the local electric company here, to try to prevent any contaminants from getting into the river water or into the sewage system. And as I mention right now, Jim, it is just really a wait and see game. They know the water is coming, but this river here, the Waccamaw, is not officially expected to crest until Monday. Jim.</s>SCIUTTO: And that coal ash can be dangerous. Nick Valencia, thanks very much. I'm Jim Sciutto in Washington. Poppy is on assignment today. The restraint is over.
