GOOD NEWS: It missed us

This week, the good news is simple:  Hurricane Florence mostly missed Charleston.  There was some wind and rain, but a huge storm surge never materialized.  We were lucky.

But our good news is bittersweet, because the storm devastated and drenched eastern North Carolina, the Grand Strand and the Pee Dee.  In the days ahead comes the aftermath..

Now, however, is the time to help those who need help – just like millions helped people here 29 years ago after Hurricane Hugo.
