"I started giving platelets 4 years ago, & I accumulated all these t-shirts," said Jim Wurst, a Red Cross blood donor. Jim donated his quilt commemorating his many platelet donations to the Myrtle Beach SC Donor Center, where it will be on display to inspire others to donate. 💗

The threat for hail in thunderstorms this afternoon is unusually high for us. Large hail could be 1-2" in size, which is enough to dent cars.
