Only 2 other times since 1900 has two TC's affected South Carolina within a 24 to 36 hour timeframe ...
2000 -- Gordon/Helene
1977 -- Babe/Clara
On the current projected NHC tracks ... Bonnie would move across the Midlands of South Carolina to a point, near Columbia by about 2 PM FRI ... and right on its heels is Charley, which COULD near Charleston by about MIDNIGHT Sat AM ... and there COULD be (on that projected track) some hurricane force gusts along the coast, and tropical storm force winds along the inland coastal counties ...

Unusual projected occurrence ... South Carolina ...

Update this morning ... can't sleep ...
Bonnie has reflared up yet again, but still the circ. center is displaced west and under the influence of westerly shear ... but the flow over Bonnie is becoming more diffluent. This has supported an outlet for rising vertical motion around the cyclone and will likely be able to hold its own at least until landfall sometime later today ...
Charley continues to become better organized and the model guidance is becoming tightly clustered, including several outliers reversing track and joining with the consensus of a FL to Carolinas track ...
Last progs as of this writing take Charley just west of Charleston (as a moderate to strong T.S. by about 4am EDT Saturday morning ... placing the stronger eastern side right over the city of Charleston. It is very conceivable should those progs be correct, the Lowcountry COULD see some hurricane force gusts and torrential rains, along with a threat of isolated tornadoes in the NE Quad ...
Also, should Bonnie and Charley both affect South Carolina as progged ... it'll be the first time in my lifetime (and much longer, I believe) that the first 3 TC's of the season all had some effects of varying degrees on South Carolina.
