Hurricane Matthew came in with much more force than many in Dillon County expected, and while it brought out the worst in some people, it brought out the best in many others.
Our law enforcement and our first responders have been on the job 24/7 in their efforts to protect and serve those in Dillon County. Our Red Cross workers kept shelters open providing food, help,and comfort to those who sought aid there. Our E-911 and Emergency Preparedness worked dilgently throughout the storm. Town, city, and county workers in all municipalities were out on the job. Our linemen and those who helped restore electricity to those who have it and those who are still waiting get our deepest thanks. There are so many more that we have probably have not mentioned, but to all and anyone who helped out during this hurricane and will continue to help out in the days ahead, we salute you. Thank you for your service.
Editorial: Many Thanks
