Conditions 'very dangerous' but amount of water lower than expected in South Carolina, governor says
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said conditions are "very dangerous" as Ian comes ashore, but so far the amount of water in places like the hospital district of Charleston is lower than expected.
"But I would ask people: Don't quit yet because this is still coming. We're not out of the woods," McMaster said.

South Carolina has positioned 90 National Guardsmen for high-water vehicle support. They have received a few requests for support, including for swift water rescue teams, said Kim Stenson, the head of South Carolina Emergency Management.
Stenson said they expect calls for damage and flooding to increase throughout the day.
