Remembering Hugo
It's been 20 years since Sept. 21-22, 1989, when Hurricane Hugo slammed into Charleston and the Lowcountry. The Post and Courier has compiled a retrospective look at Hugo and what the storm did to the Lowcountry and its residents. We've added a selection of stories and photos - from our archives and from you - as well as video footage. You also can read the stories from the print edition retrospective Sept. 20-22, 2009.
