Charleston Rebuilds Hope After Hugo in Church Service
Survivors of Hurricane Hugo gathered at Morris Street Baptist Church in Charleston to thank God for surviving the disaster. Deaconess Serena Washington spoke of a city forever changed but united by neighborly help and shared meals as power remained out ten days after the storm. Officials noted widespread outages, water issues, and shelter needs as debris-strewn streets faced potential flooding. The federal disaster declaration covered 24 counties, with trucks delivering food, medical supplies, and essentials, while churches provided refuge and counseling as schools planned to reopen on Oct 9.
