Last update: 11 hours agoExtreme Heat & Drought: South Carolina is heading into Fourth of July week with extreme drought across much of the state (including D2 and D3 areas) and a heat dome pushing heat indexes toward triple digits—raising wildfire risk, especially from fireworks, and adding warnings for boaters dealing with shallow, hazardous waters. Energy Bills in Summer: Dominion Energy shared practical ways to keep cooling costs down during hot spells, including setting thermostats around 78°F or higher, using fans, and staying on top of filters, duct sealing, and weather stripping. Broadband Access: The South Carolina Broadband Office says it cut BEAD scope by using other funding sources and has signed more agreements, leaving fewer than 1% of service locations still in the BEAD program. Coastal Safety After Incident: The Coast Guard reported no pollution after a crane toppled into Hilton Head-area waters, while crews worked to lift it. Wildlife & Community: A new “Reading with a Ranger” program is pairing Andrews library kids with Black River State Park rangers, and wildlife photographer Charles “Chas” Glatzer has died after a fatal multi-vehicle crash in South Carolina.
