Post-Tropical Cyclone Ian is lashing South Carolina in its second US landfall after carving a swathe of deadly destruction across Florida .
Ian returned as a category one hurricane near Georgetown at 14:05 local time (18:05 GMT) on Friday before losing some power as it marched inland.
But the danger is not over. Flooding is projected to continue throughout the region, including in Florida , for days.

In coastal South Carolina , Ian has already ripped apart four piers and sent torrents of water flooding into neighbourhoods, including in the popular seaside city of Myrtle Beach .

In The City of Charleston, around 80 miles (130km) south of where The Hurricane made landfall, cars have been seen driving through flooded roads.
The Storm is moving north with maximum sustained winds of around 70mph (110km/h), according to The National Hurricane Center (NHC).
Although Ian weakened on Friday, it is still dangerous, says the NHC.
The Agency warns that Central Florida could see record river flooding into next week.
Considerable flash and urban flooding was possible across coastal and north-east South Carolina , coastal North Carolina and south-east Virginia on Friday, the NHC said.
There was also a chance that Ian could spawn tornados in North Carolina and Virginia as it marched north, according to the NHC.
Ian is expected to dissipate over either North Carolina or Virginia by late on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the full scope of the disaster in Florida - where 1. 6 million People still have no Electricity - is coming to light.
" We're just beginning to see the scale of that destruction, " President Joe Biden said at the White House on Friday.
