Post-Hannah - how do the beaches look? (Dont know where Berkeley County is) Was there any damage to areas up there? I am more familiar with the Savannah, Hinesville waterways but I remember Hurricane Hugo messed some things up for the Charleston SC area waterways for a while. How did your lovely waterways fare? Hope all is well!

Thanks for asking!-Moncks Corner is about 30 miles north of Charleston & mild damage along the coast " few trees down" & plenty of rain. We collected close to three tons of trash during our clean up & had 150 volunteers.
