That’s how much it would cost to rebuild 112,000 homes in the Charleston area that could be damaged from storm surge after a direct hit of a major hurricane, according to a new report.

Sam’s Spit near Kiawah Island, where a couple of pieces of heavy machinery fell into the ocean because of the fragile landscape?) More.
We Can Do Better, South Carolina!
