Ida Soaks SC
For the second straight day, South Carolina is being soaked by rain from former Hurricane Ida – a rare November tropical system that formed five days ago in the Southern Caribbean Sea.
Flood watches were issued for most of South Carolina Wednesday as Ida continued to creep northward following its landfall in Bon Secour, Alabama on Tuesday morning. The system has dumped as many as four inches of rainfall in some parts of the Palmetto State.
The storm is reportedly responsible for one death in America.
Ida is the ninth tropical storm and third hurricane of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season, one of the quietest tropical seasons on record.

I gotta say, one of the funny things about living in SC…when there is a big storm like this, it’s a weather forecast for the WHOLE STATE. Not like states out west, where it’s a different forecast for every part of the state.
“What the weather in SC? Raining.”
“What part of the state? All of it.”
