Charleston is closed: A City is Ready to Brace for Matthew
Preparation has been set in motion. Businesses and homes are securing their domain. Shelters are being prepared for the homeless. Buses, cars and trucks are leaving in droves. This is a monumental event and one that has not threatened these parts since 1999. As a community braces for the awesome power of Mother Nature, we put our thoughts and prayers to everyone and their families.
For those that remain, Charleston is witnessing a rare event, a virtual ghost town where we put aside the aesthetic beauty of this historic area and put safety first.
We wanted to share some images that we will rarely see: a city closed for business.

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures. No matter what the pictures look like, the safety view or the finely manicured pictures, it is home and I love it with all my heart. It even felt good to be there the day after Hugo! God Bless Charleston and all oh Her people!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of those staying in SC. They are also with all the emergency services. Governor Haley has done a wonderful job of handling the situation. i am praying for everyone in the path of Matthew.
Praying for my family and all the people in Charleston. Dear Lord, have Mercy and keep them all safe.
Praying for all of you in Charleston, our favorite city. May you and your homes/businesses be safe.
