--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
At least 13 people have died amid "once-in-a-millennium" floods in North
and South Carolina. The flooding has breached at least 18 dams and
unearthed caskets at local cemeteries. On Monday, as many as 40,000
people were without drinking water, and more than 26,000 people were
without power. The mayor of Columbia, South Carolina, Steve Benjamin
said Monday, "I believe that things will get worse before they get
better."
