For some, the so-called “thousand-year rain” and the floods that followed it in October 2015 may seem an event long past, but many are still recovering from the storm’s devastation. For some businesses in Richland County, the after effects of the floods continue to pose particular difficulties. Take the Four Paws Animal Clinic , which was forced to operate out of a temporary location for more than two years after the flood, when the business' original building bordering Gills Creek was ruined.
