A dam located in rural Colleton County, South Carolina, is raising concerns as it has been deemed to have the potential to fail. The local fire department has issued a warning to nearby residents, advising them to evacuate the area immediately.
The dam in question, known as the McGrady Dam, is responsible for retaining Black Creek near Cane Branch Road. State records indicate that the privately-owned dam was flagged in 2016 for being unsafe and posing a potential danger to property. Furthermore, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently inspected the dam in 2022 and classified it as being in an 'unsatisfactory' condition.
