We packed the room a few weeks ago to warn elected officials how dangerous Clements Ferry Road has become. Another shutdown at Marina Dr this morning. We need action.

Grateful for the partnership of @CCSDConnects @ChasCoSheriff working with @ChasCoLibrary to feed families this holiday season. #chs #chsnews

🌀 Social Media ≠ Official Forecasts As tropical storms approach, misinformation spreads fast. ✅ Use official sources ⚠️ Models ≠ forecasts 🧠 Think before you share Follow @NWSCharlestonSC and @NHC_Atlantic for updates.

There have been many reports of a #fireball streaking across the southeastern U.S. this afternoon! The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (#GLM) on @NOAA's #GOES satellites can occasionally detect these bright meteors (aka #bolides) when they pass through the atmosphere. See the quick flash #GOESEast captured around the Virginia/North Carolina border today. #GOES19

@LCWxDave This wind is no joke!!!

Natalie Hauff sent me this awesome picture of the shelf cloud on Daniel Island. Severe Thunderstorm Warning Warnings now extend through the Charleston metro. Take cover, wind gusts over 60mph are possible in some spots. #chswx

Flatbed truck blocking Clements Ferry Road near Beresford entrance. Traffic backed up.

Boaters beware: We're drawing down the lakes to make room for a wall of water coming from NC. Lake water will fall and rise in the next few days. If you must be in a boat, use extreme caution, avoid the Spillway, and watch for rapid water currents. bit.ly/3XLs9xM

This isn’t over. Helene’s effects continue as our rivers rise due to the flooding. Please continue monitoring the local news and weather.

Local journalism matters, especially during catastrophes such as the one being experienced in Western North Carolina.

Western North Carolina has experienced severe devastation. Folks are still trying to track down family members in Boone, Banner Elk (which has been cut off), Chimney Rock, Asheville, and surrounding areas.

My heart. 💔Western NC. 😭 Home to Asheville, App State, Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Mountains. Highways gone. Small towns gone. People stranded. Please donate to Red Cross!! 🙏 redcross.org

The greatest concern in regards to impacts associated with Hurricane #Helene will be the risk for tropical tornadoes later today and tonight. Have a tornado plan in place in case a warning is issued.

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible tomorrow afternoon into the evening hours ⛈ #chswx #savwx #scwx #gawx

AVOID THE AREA: I-26 near Ridgeland Following additional significant rainfall overnight, I-26 in both directions near MM 189 east of Cypress Campground overpass is currently flooded. Law enforcement is actively working to move traffic out of the roadway. (1/2)

🚨Berkeley County🚨I-26 eastbound at the 190 mile marker is closed due to water on the roadway. Please expect delays across the tri-county area as water continues to flow to the low country. Please don’t drive around barricades. Remember standing water is deeper than it looks!

NEW- Roper St. Francis Healthcare has closed its Moncks Corner Medical Plaza due to rising flood waters. #chsnews
