It was one year ago today -- on Friday, September 27, 2024 -- that Hurricane Helene slammed into South Carolina, and Edgefield County was directly in the path of the massive storm.

In this episode of the EDGEFIELD COUNTY NEWS Podcast, we revisit that fateful morning with Edgefield County's Emergency Management Agency director James "Foster" Crowder. How did we respond to this unprecedented onslaught? What lessons have we learned?

This anniversary edition of HELENE PLUS ONE offers us a closer look at the triumph of the human spirit in the face of trials and tragedy.
