A busy weekend for rescue crews in South Carolina. Heavy winds and rain from a nor'easter are causing severe flooding in parts of the state. That, coupled with more rain brought on by Hurricane Joaquin only making matters worse. Up to 12 inches of rain are expected to batter some areas along the Eastern seaboard. For those living in communities devastated by Superstorm Sandy in 2012, preparations are well underway. SOUNDBITE: MIKE HARRIOTT, OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR, SAYING: "We have sent out a message to the residents already ... telling them to prepare evacuations kits should ... we need to evacuate anybody." SOUNDBITE: NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE, SAYING: "We're gonna see six to 10 feet of waves ... maybe as high ... as 16 feet .. over the course of the weekend .. which will really damage the beach and lead to more beach erosion." Earlier in the week, several states including New Jersey declared a state of emergency in preparation for the storm.
