    That was a great video, especially the earthquake bolts. We have them on our 1832 federal style home in southwestern PA. Also, we mostly don’t drink either, since we prefer our brain/liver cells intact. So, stay sober, you’ll remember much more of life’s good moments!

      @@thecharlestonlife you’re welcome. People think of southeastern PA as having all the history but the southwest actually has older history, I’m talking French & Indian War (Seven Years War), so more like between the founding of Charleston and the Revolution. If you’re ever making the trek let me know! I’ll give some pointers!

    so question. what town/area would you consider safe enough from flood zones, and mandatory evacuations but still not be hours from the coastal communities. my wife and i have visited Beaufort county a couple years in row now, and really love it, but the term low country can take on a new meaning with say, what is gonna happen there over the next few day with all the rain.

    • @thecharlestonlife
      @thecharlestonlife 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Downtown Charleston has more flooding than other parts of town, but areas like Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, parts of James Island and John’s Island, and Summerville are less likely to flood. But honestly, the storm coming through now is just not a normal occurrence. Usually hurricanes or tropical storms come through over the course of a day or 2. This storm is stalling over Charleston, which never happens, so I definitely wouldn’t use this event as a baseline!

Born and raised in NY and planning on relocating to Charleston in 2025. Leaving all my friends so meeting people from the jump is crucial for me... Orrr maybeee a pro's and cons list of the various options you went over. Assuming there's trade offs for each location.

      Wait for the culture shock and lack of freedoms that the American south has compared to Australia - for example. For women, forget having an abortion. Prepare for religion to be shoved in your face every passing moment. Wait until you see the levels of poverty once you leave the "nice" areas. The Plantation attitude never ended in South Carolina and if they could, they would bring it right back. Who wants to pay workers when you can own them.
