@SCweather_wx You got that that right!

So far, May 10th beats this by a mile or two at my location, but it truly is unbelievable that somehow I’ve managed to see the Northern lights twice in one year in South Carolina. 📍Lake Murray, SC

@spann Can see it here in Lexington, SC!

From Kim White “Monroe, GA only visiable through camera.”

Aerial footage captures the extensive flooding in Asheville, North Carolina, as Helene submerged buildings.

@wxbrad Omg

OMG!

I don’t know who to credit for this video yet. Will share when I know. It is a local and the video was shared in my family’s group chat. Downtown Chimney Rock, North Carolina is completely gone 😔

@WeatherNation Yes you may use the video. And yes it is mine. :-) Have a great day

@JaredCHoop Hope you stayed dry! May WeatherNation use this on-air/online with credit to you?

A special weather statement has been issued for Columbia SC, Lexington SC and West Columbia SC until 4:15 AM EDT

@KnobberSlocker @NWSColumbia I agree! 4:00 am is far too early to be up

@NWSColumbia Yeah it woke my dogs up which woke me up and there isn't enough coffee in the world right now to keep me awake.

Here's what strong thunderstorms looked like earlier this morning in Red Bank, SC. We received many reports of pea sized Hail across Lexington County. #SCWx #CAEWx

@SCweather_wx Oh yeah :-)

Early morning vibes.. ⛈️

@ChrisWx_ Pretty awesome ;-)

@JaredCHoop Our Mavic’s showing out last night my dude! Excellent shot!

Aurora from my Mavic 3 drone. No filter #scwx #aurora

@ChrisJacksonSC Sure can, this from red bank

OMG YOU CAN SEE THE AURORA IN COLUMBIA.

@SCweather_wx Just took some pics of it with my drone from Red Bank!

Never in my wildest dreams would I thought I’d experience something like this in Central, South Carolina.Currently still at the Lake Murray dam. I’m stunned…

Northern Lights in Lexington, SC Got these with my Mavic just now #aurora #Auroraborealis #scwx @wxbrad @NWSColumbia

@JaredCHoop There have been several prescribed burns across SC & GA over the past several days. With high pressure across the area, winds have been too weak to fully push the smoke out & it settles at night. The accumulation of this over the past several days has led to poor air quality!

@NWSColumbia Thanks! I’ll do a wind dance !

DHEC has issued an Air Quality Alert for the central Midlands today. If you experience respiratory health issues, be sure to limit time spent outdoors as fine particulates at levels unhealthy to sensitive populations. This is in effect until Midnight.
