This was the scene at the Fed Ex Depot.
Getting it there on time was a little more difficult thanks to Mother Nature.
A fed ex truck floated off a Bridge and into a creek and then hit another vehicle.
At least a dozen workers sought refuge on a roof.
Flash flooding also blocked a road leading to the main airport- although the airport did remain open.
Flooding also destroyed several homes and forced about 60 residents to evacuate from a nursing home.
The Red Cross has set up a shelter at the Charleston Civic Center.

SOME OF THE STARS OF THE TELEVISION SHOW MASH ALSO SAID FAREWELL TO ONE

Nominated five times for an Academy Award, Peck won Best Actor for playing the principled Southern lawyer who defended a railroaded black
man in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Brock Peters played the character Peck defended in the movie. The two
became lifelong friends, and Peters agreed to give the eulogy at Monday
s service. Many feel it s fitting that Peck be eulogized in the city s
huge new cathedral, as the church once honored him with its Catholics in
Media Lifetime Achievement Award.
TOD TAMBERG/ARCHDIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES:
He was a man who had high moral standards and values. Great respect for his fellow human beings. And not only in his civic life, but that was also on film as well.
Even with a career that spanned decades, for many fans Peck will always be Atticus Finch. Just one week before he died, the American Film Institute chose Finch as the screen s Number one hero. And Peck himself said he put his own feelings on racial justice and inequality into the role.
CHRIS LAWRENCE/CBS NEWS:
About six years ago Peck looked back on his character in To Kill A
Mockingbird. And at the time he said, It ll be the first line in my
obituary and that s all right with me. Chris Lawrence, CBS News, LosAngeles.))
