CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) -

Several city and county governments tend to be providing sandbags as Matthew continues its trek north.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley declared circumstances of disaster Tuesday mid-day, calling for coastal evacuations prior to the dangerous hurricane possibly making landfall in the coastline of Sc later on this week.

Possible effects when it comes to Lowcountry include hurricane-force winds regarding shore, significant browse and coastline erosion, storm surges of three to five foot and four to eight inches of rain. Power outages may expected as early as Friday mid-day.

At the time of very early Wednesday early morning, this is what some Lowcountry city and county officials say about sandbags you might protect your home with:
