Governor McMaster has declared a state of emergency for South Carolina in response to the intensification of Hurricane Humberto, now classified as a Category 4 storm. The state braces for potential impacts from this hurricane and a developing tropical storm that may hit the Carolinas next week. Preparations are underway across various regions including the Grand Strand and Pee Dee areas, with local authorities urging residents to stay informed and ready for weather-related changes. Flash flooding is a concern as tropical moisture moves towards the coast, prompting school closures and resource mobilizations. Communities are advised to review their hurricane readiness and monitor developments closely.
