Hugo

Hello, recently my Aunt, who lives in Columbia, passed on that The State is looking for stories about Hurricane Hugo and that I may want to share my experience. My story is definitely not as scary or profound as those who went through the storm, but it goes to show how far the stories of Hugo, or other hurricanes, can reach.

Two decades to the day after Hurricane Hugo tore into the state, ripping apart homes, tossing boats onto roadways, blasting through the Francis Marion National Forest and, ultimately, killing 26, consider how Hugo Redux might play out today.
