Committee says South Carolina is back to drought free
June 23, 2021 GMT
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) A South Carolina committee that monitors how dry South Carolina is has declared the state is drought free for now.
The South Carolina Drought Response Committee voted Wednesday to remove six counties in the northeast part of the state from an incipient drought, which is the first of four levels.
Rain from several systems, including Tropical Storm Claudette over this past weekend, alleviated the unusually dry conditions in Clarendon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Marion and Williamsburg counties, the committee decided.
Farmers told the committee the rain was just in time.
