The port city of Georgetown, South Carolina stands in the path of what the National Weather Service has said could be significant flooding as water dumped by the Florence storm system drains to the ocean.

The Marion County coroner has confirmed the victims were Windy Wenton, 45, and Nicolette Green, 43.

In an extraordinary humanitarian effort, one South Carolina pastor took it upon himself Monday to begin retrieving floating coffins from flood waters on live television.
