PHOTO: Deep orange: Smoke on the water

Guess who the only folks to get any kind of benefit from all of the smoke that has blown into the area from mountain wildfires? Photographers. The particulates in the air have created deep reds and oranges that excite the lenses of professional and amateur photographers, as highlighted by this shot taken from the Pitt Street Bridge in Mount Pleasant by past contributor Leigh Sabine of Mount Pleasant. Thanks for sending the shot, Leigh!

BRACK: Thanks to everyone for helping during Matthew

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | Every one will have a different way of remembering Hurricane Matthew, which got everybody’s attention after it killed hundreds in Haiti on its way north to make a tempestuous landfall in South Carolina.

From now until eternity, I’m sure that every time I encounter a chocolate-covered almond, I’ll remember eating them while waiting out the storm in Georgia at my parent’s home with my daughters in the Atlanta area. My dad had a Costco-sized container full of them that we all ate until they were gone, And then another container miraculously appeared.

One daughter says she’ll likely remember visiting her grandparents whenever asked about Hurricane Matthew. Another daughter predicts she’ll recall worrying about the fate of our home in Charleston as the storm blew through.
