They get the job done. “We’re praying for everyone injured and for their families. We’re asking God for strength, healing, and a full recovery. “To everyone traveling I-95, please be patient, follow local officials’ guidance, and give crews the space they need to safely clear the scene. “God bless South Carolina, and God bless our first responders.” ### Issues : Lowcountry
