WJBF News Channel 6 has received reports of large trees being downed in Edgefield County. We have also received reports of large hail in Johnston, South Carolina. We are awaiting word on if there is any damage in Saluda County. Let us know if you see or receive storm damage. Strong weather will continue to move through the CSRA Friday night, and should clear up by Saturday morning.

Forget whistling or even raising that hand to get that cab. Just use your cell phone. Blackberry and iPhone users can rejoice, and thank RideCharge while they are at it, for releasing a new service to hail a taxi and actually pay for it all on their cell phones.
