    CHARLESTON — It begins with bands of rain, and for a while it looks and feels like a bad thunderstorm. But the roads are empty. The only people left are holdouts who didn’t evacuate. Emergency management teams and National Weather Service employees are holed up further inland, in buildings designed to withstand major hurricanes. The Post and Courier’s Rising Waters Lab focuses on impacts of climate change and related policies and practices. It is supported by donations and grants to the nonprofi

It took several years, and dozens of designs, to reach a compromise on the road expansion, a project most advocates and community members say addresses historic environmental justice challenges and decades of poor land use planning along the corridor. While a handful of environmental permits remain outstanding, officials say the expansio
