The 2024 hurricane season saw 18 named storms, two of which had major impacts on South Carolina — Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricane Helene. Both brought high winds, flooding, and tornadoes to much of the state.
'As we put 2024 in our rear-view mirror, we now look ahead. Early indications are pointing to another busy year, with forecast numbers close to those from last year. As you know, we can't predict where storms will make landfall before the season, but we continue to make strides in forecasting how many storms could form,' said Storm Team 2 Meteorologist Rob Fowler.
Preseason forecasting is just that — a forecast, and as Storm Team 2 often reminds, it only takes one storm to make it a bad season. Your best action right now is to ensure your family has a plan that could activated at anytime during hurricane season.
Your safety is always our top priority. You can count on Storm Team 2 and the entire News 2 team to be there for you before, during and after any storm that threatens our area.

Good Samaritan stops couple from dumping kittens in San Bernardino
A handful of kittens are resting at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter after a Good Samaritan stopped a man and woman from abandoning them in a random dirt lot. Elisabeth Lomeli said she spotted the couple dumping cats last Friday afternoon near the intersection of East 40th Street and Harrison Street. On that day, temperatures hovered around 100 degrees. "It was very hot," Lomeli said. "I was dying in the car with the A/C." Lomeli and her friends confronted the couple, who had placed the cats in a metal cage. Lomeli took the cats away from the couple after a heated exchange and the woman claiming that the shelter wouldn't take the pets. "The mom cat was very terrified," she said. "Once we got it opened, the mom cat jumped out." Lomeli brought four kittens to the shelter while her friend stayed behind to find the cat that escaped. She said the kittens were sick and malnourished. Rescue teams are still searching for the cat that got away, but managed to find two more kittens in the nearby brush. "I don't have no respect for [that lady] and for the man himself," Lomeli said. The San Bernardino City Animal Services said they are investigating the encounter and will notify the police.

Man accused of hurling rocks, racial slurs at father and daughter fishing on Massachusetts lake
A father-daughter day on a lake in Lunenburg, Massachusetts ended with a 911 call they say because of a stranger who hurled rocks and racial slurs at them. Police said that stranger, David McPartlan, is now facing charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and assault to intimidate. With the catch of the day in hand, it should have been the perfect daddy-daughter day for Sheron Brown and his 10-year-old girl on Lake Shirley. Incident captured on video But their Memorial Day was marred by a man seen on video admitting he called them racial slurs and hurled rocks at them. "I was really angry," said Brown. "I'm sad that I had to deal with this with my daughter. I'm sad that I have to explain these things to her." "I didn't expect in our Zen, in our passion, in our field of play, in our home from home, that she would be confronted with a racist situation," added Brown. Sheron Brown said a man hurled rocks and racial slurs at him and his daughter while they were fishing in Lunenburg, Mass. CBS Boston Lunenburg police say McPartlan said the father and daughter were fishing too close to his dock and asked them to leave. However, Brown, a competitive fisherman since 1998 who's fished on the lake for years, wanted to be in the no wake zone because it was the safest place for his daughter to fish on a busy holiday weekend. "He just starts telling me, I can't fish here I shouldn't be here and I should go somewhere else and I'm like, but you didn't say anything to anybody else, I said there were three boats that were actually fishing close to your dock," said Brown. Words escalated to the frightening confrontation. "His mannerism was more aggressive, I don't know what he's going to do, he already threw the rock, so I'm recording him, and I said I'm going to call the police," said Brown. Investigators said, "Because of David's racial remarks combined with the assault on Sheron, and his minor child, his intent was to intimidate them due to their race." "Stand up to bullies" As painful as that experience was, Brown knows there's a lesson in there for all of us. "If anything, I'm showing my daughter you stand up to bullies, if someone harasses you and racism has no place in the world," said Brown. McPartlan has been summoned to Fitchburg District Court. He's expected to be arraigned June 16.
