Columbia drenched by evening storms

Posted: Updated:
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -

A strand of slow moving thunderstorms dumped several inches of rain on the Midlands Tuesday night.

In the span of 30 minutes, parts of the city of Columbia got over 2 inches of rain, causing flooding issues that turned many downtown streets in to rivers.

Several streets near the USC campus were flooded and, of course, Five Points got it's usual drenching.

Tuesday night's storms also brought plenty of wind, thunder, and lightning. Thousands also lost power in the wake of those storms.
