(Columbia) Sept. 17, 2004 - The remnants of Hurricane Ivan brought another dousing for residents in Upstate South Carolina who are still recovering from Frances. The storm spun off tornadoes and high winds in the Upstate as it tracked across Alabama on Thursday. By Friday morning it was over eastern Tennessee. National Hurricane Center>>

Storm Team Chief Meteorologist Ken Aucoin says Futurecast shows Ivan moving away and to the northeast on Friday, though three bands of storms associated with it would likely continue to bring periodic thunderstorms to the Palmetto State, "They'll keep forming throughout the afternoon, and the reason is there's sunshine in between these bands. So, that sun's going to come out, heat the ground and produce more storms across the area."

The National Weather Service on Friday morning issued a tornado watch for nine northeastern South Carolina until 6:00pm. They are: Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Marion, Marlboro and Williamsburg Counties. Severe Weather Alerts>>

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch through 6:00am Sunday for the Upstate. A high wind warning was in effect through Friday evening as the area could see sustained winds of 40 miles per hour with gusts up to 60 miles per hour.

Oconee County officials estimate ten tornadoes brought down trees and power lines. One person suffered a minor injury after tree fell on a mobile home. Scattered power outages were reported.

Preliminary reports from an amateur radio operator indicated that a tornado had touched down near the intersection of Andrew Coleman Road and Hickory Grove Road late Thursday afternoon around 5:00pm in Saluda County.

Trees and powerlines are down with structural damage to a mobile home and roof damage to another home and a barn about five miles from the town of Saluda. The path of the storm was estimated to be 60 to 70 yards.

Carlene Ridge was shaken up after seeing the tornado touchdown, "It was black. It was just really dark, really scary. It looked like a vacuum like the clouds were turning."

About 50 people near the Tugalo River had to be ferried out Friday after rising water washed over a road which was the only way to get to their homes. Two tractor trailer rigs flipped on their sides in Chester County on Friday morning.

Duke Power spokesman Tom Williams says at least 23,000 people are without power as winds of 90 miles blew threw.

Ivan came ashore early Thursday as a Category 3 with 130 miles an hour winds but began weakening over land. It had weakened to 75 miles an hour by mid-morning. Rain from Ivan reached the Midlands early Thursday morning.

Much of South Carolina already is soaked from what was left of Hurricane Frances last week. Emergency officials worry it won't take much to push rivers out of their banks and pull trees from the moist soil.

While people in the western part of the state deal with Ivan, residents along the coast are looking out into the Atlantic at Tropical Storm Jeanne. Jeanne is expected to grow into a hurricane and continue to move toward the southeastern United States through Monday afternoon.
