What will the flood do to the migration into South Carolina? Will people who had been thinking of moving here think the whole place is flooded out and stay away?
Unlikely, people still move to Florida don't they?

Isn't New Orleans growing again after Katrina? (Probably the worst of them all). Charleston grew after Hugo yes? Seems to be a wildfire in California everyday but people still flock to the desert. Nashville is doing quite well after those floods a few years ago. Texas is the most booming state even with tornado risks in Dallas and hurricane risks in Houston, and I don't see Oklahoma City going downhill after the Moore tornado. Sandy and New York, risk of heatstroke is high in Phoenix and people still flock to the desert, Florida and every hurricane, Seattle has a volcano risk, San Francisco is still growing fast even though we know the big one is coming, blizzards shutting down the NE yearly, etc...
Natural disaster are, well natural. They do not stop people from moving in. If a cat 4 were to hit Charleston tomorrow and devastate us, we'd take a temporary hit, but before you know it we'd be back on our feet. Every state and every region has at least one natural disaster risk, there's no where in the US where you're completely immune.

Doubtful. I think most folks understand that the places that were hardest hit (largely Columbia area) don't flood very often.
Houston floods a lot, and the population growth there continues unabated.

A one time event will stop in-migration? Are you serious?!
Depends on how annexation efforts continue to pan out in both cities, and Columbia (state capital) and Myrtle Beach (most visited city in the state) are practically as known as Charleston.
Charleston, Columbia, and Myrtle Beach are all pretty well-known, roughly equally, with Myrtle Beach probably the slight winner.
Good point and makes sense why the population of other cities double compared to charleston. They are on the ocean so you can only go one way.to be fair measure population in one way but if you go from the city center the other cities always gonna win unless you want to add in the fish and shark population to ghe east��
Isn't that strange that you think that. With cities like Miami, Norfolk, New York, Boston and a slue of other cities that are on the coast. One of the things about Charleston is that they would rather "not" grow to keep that character and quality of life as it is.
Problem is that's not going to last to much longer as more and more people learn about it. Hench; the population will grow. Even now with Charleston being number 2 and North Charleston being number 3 and Mt. Pleasant at 4 or 5 in the state, it's plenty big.
