South Carolina's drought status shifted from extreme to severe in most areas after rainfall from a tropical storm. The Pee Dee remains extreme as officials note uneven rain, with six wildfires burning just four acres in 10 days and the beetle epidemic costing $220 million this year. Isidore and Lili are expected to bring more rain.
