The mandatory evacuation order for three South Carolina counties will be lifted as of 3 p.m. ET, Gov. Henry McMaster said.

McMaster said Jasper, Beaufort and Colleton counties will no longer be under mandatory evacuation.

Residents need to abide by the local authorities when trying to return to their homes, McMaster said.

McMaster said theses counties are further south but there are still concerns for the remaining five counties still under mandatory evacuation.

The five counties where there are still mandatory evacuation notices are Horry, Dorchester, Georgetown, Berkeley and Charleston.

The entire city of Georgetown is without power, McMaster said.
