Hurricane Joaquin didn't hit the U.S. mainland, but heavy rainfall from a separate storm devastated South Carolina. Charleston was in a state of emergency, the high tides were close to 8 feet, the roads were impassable, and the waters terrorized the state destroying homes. In the Bahamas category 3 Hurricane Joaquin reached winds up to 125 mph, the Bahamas suffered days of a down pour of rain and heavy winds that completely destroyed homes. The 735 foot ship El Faro was lost at sea, there were 33 people aboard. Two people died in the U.S. due to the storm.
