Episode Narrative Widespread heavy rain affected the region ahead of a slow moving cold front. Rainfall amounts of 2.5 to 4 inches were common across Upstate South Carolina. Quite a bit of flash flooding developed as a result of the heavy rain falling on already saturated ground. An isolated severe storm also downed several trees in Oconee County.
Event Narrative Although heavy rain ended across the county shortly after midnight, runoff from the earlier rainfall caused flooding to persist across the eastern half of the county until after sunrise.
