Please sign up for the Daufuskie Paper. "The Front Porch" The link is on my site. Please send a small donation as the paper is completely funded by small donations and well worth your time to do this. The paper will eventually add a paypal button and some ad sense but right now if you would kindly mail your check all donations are appreciated. While there are a few Daufuskie Island bloggers and the islandpacket paper on Hilton Head, "The Front Porch" is the only real coverage for local happenings on Daufuskie Island. It is graciously published by an island local resident who is very generous with her time and effort that it takes to write, email, fund raise and put out a local newspaper. http://www.daufuskiefrontporch.com/index.php/current-issue-and-archives This NewPaper will give you so much more current information about the island. More than I could ever begin to blog about.

Winds of 40 mph toppled trees as large as 12 inches in diameter and knocked down large limbs on Daufuskie Island, causing scattered power outages. One tree fell over a power line and caused a small fire at the corner of Old Haig Point and Cooper River Landing roads around 4 p.m., according to Daufuskie Island Fire Chief Edward Boys.
