Jeanne Moves Out

GREENVILLE -- The rain is ending across the Upstate and North Carolina mountains as the remains of Hurricane Jeanne move out of the state.

The storm dropped more than 4 inches of rain in some places in the Upstate. Some areas of western North Carolina received more than 5.5 inches of rain.

WYFF News 4 meteorologist Todd Gladfelter said that the two weeks between Jeanne and Hurricane Ivan gave much of the region a chance to dry out, minimizing much of the potential flooding.

But that didn't stop flooding from closing several roads across the region, washing out some bridges and stalling cars. Several roads remained closed Tuesday morning, including:

North Poplar Street and East Rutherford Street in Landrum

Carolina Avenue at Highway 221

Fairview Church Road and Highway 14 near the Greenville county line and Mount Lebanon Church Road

Apple Valley Road in Duncan, as the bridge washed out

Jonesville Road bridge washed out east of Fountain Inn.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation has a list of road closures here.

Duke Power reported about 6,400 power outages in the Upstate, mainly in Anderson and Greenville counties. Progress Energy reported fewer than 3,000 outages in western North Carolina Monday night.

A reported tornado damaged six homes in Newberry County late Monday afternoon near the intersections of Highway 34 and Highway 176.

A second possible tornado damaged a trailer and trees south of Gaffney just after 10 p.m.

A flood watch continues across the Upstate and mountains until 6 p.m. Tuesday.

No injuries have been reported in the Upstate so far.
