A lot of unusual early morning activity in Hartsville

Right at six this morning there was a lot of unusual activity in the Hartsville. Fourteenth Street was much busier than ususal as lots of cars came past the powerline and then took right turns into the National Guard parking lot. You have heard there are about 2500 Guard troops on alert for the weekend weather. Yesterday a student of mine came in and said her unit, Florence/Timmonsville had people activated and it looks like many of the Hartsville Guard have also been put on alert. Isn't it amazing how much we take for granted until a potential crisis looms? Thanks to those troops who have interrupted their normal lives to help others feel more secure in their lives.
