South Carolina Drought and Drowning

South Carolina’s drought relief was short-lived—while May rains eased some dry spots, a third of the state remains in extreme drought.

Meanwhile, Charleston explores cultural fusion in a unique basket collection, gears up for the June 9 governor’s primary, and grapples with tragedy: a drowning near Folly Beach and a Florida man pleading guilty to child exploitation charges tied to a former local magistrate.
