Ian is creating chaos along the South Carolina shore, where it made landfall south of Georgetown as a Category 1 hurricane Friday afternoon. The town is about 60 miles northeast of Charleston.
As it arrived, Ian was flooding beach areas and residential neighborhoods with storm surges and massive rainfall, sending seawater flowing over roads. Ian was later downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone. Power outages affected more than 170,000 customers in South Carolina Friday evening.
