Remnants of Hurricane Isaias closed 21 Charleston roads Saturday morning, forced event cancellations across the Lowcountry and sent downtown shop owners out with sandbags. City officials warned that a high tide near 7.5 feet Saturday evening, and another Sunday morning, could bring more flooding.

A flooded block can erase a weekend of revenue for a small shop or restaurant, and customers often assume you are closed the moment they see road-closure headlines. Knowing the tide schedule and telling people plainly whether your doors are open is damage control that costs nothing.
