Dear Friends, 

I have gathered some important information regarding the floods, and will be updating on my website as often as possible. Please continue to monitor South Carolina Emergency Management Division and your local emergency operations centers for critical information.

I want to offer a HUGE thank you to our first responders, National Guard members and good samaritans across South Carolina. Once the weather finally clears and the full extent of the damage becomes more clear, I have no doubt we will come together as a state to help our neighbors in need, and come back stronger than ever.
