HurricaneMatthew swept along the coast of the South-eastern United States in Florida, Georgia, South Car-olina and North Carolina on October 7 & 8, 2016. Atit’s peak it was a Category 4 Hurricane. By the time itreached South Carolina it weakened to a Category 1.
Hurricane Matthew left much damage in it’s path andis responsible for over 900 deaths in Haiti and at least 45deaths in the United States.

We’d like to thank theWeiser Security Officers who vol-unteered to work and keep our clients properties secure.
