Top 10 of 2008: Hanna, Fanna, Fohanna

A daily glance at the top 10 Charleston stories of 2008. Look for the entire list in the Dec. 24 Charleston City Paper.

9. Hanna, Fanna, Fohanna

As Mother Nature is wont to do, she gives Charleston one good storm to fret over before leaving us untouched and sending it up the coast to Myrtle Beach. Really, when forecasters call for Charleston to get hit, watch out Grand Strand. This year’s offering was Hurricane Hanna (without the second “h” — how metropolitan). Right up to the end, emergency management officials were cagey about exactly where the storm was headed. Schools and public facilities were closed. Offices shut their doors early and local residents were sent home to bravely face the slight breeze of the evening storm.

In 2009: It’s the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, so expect long-time locals to be a little more anxious than usual come hurricane season. Meanwhile, the rest of us who have sat through one hurricane warning too many will likely sink further into unpreparedness, leading to a stiff drop in the sale of batteries, beans, and hurricane maps.
