(AP) -- Three more planes carrying a total of 147 U.S. citizens evacuated in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti have arrived in South Carolina.
Derrec Becker of the state Emergency Management Division says the flights arrived early Friday, the first at 2:45 a.m. and the third about 7:30 a.m.
On Thursday, the first flights through South Carolina arrived at the Charleston International Airport after the government designated the state a repatriation site.
Other flights from Haiti have been arriving in Florida and New Jersey.
Becker says none of those on the Friday flights required hospitalization, although some were checked by doctors. The evacuees made connecting flights or rented cars to complete their journeys home.
