My family and I transplanted to the Richmond Hill area almost a full year ago, having moved here four days before Hurricane Matthew hit. We made the choice to leave Los Angeles as I have a chronic illness called lupus that was forcing me to re-evaluate my life in favor of a slower pace and a more supportive community. Being that I am disabled and had no frame of reference as to what to expect with a hurricane, we hightailed it up to a friend’s house in Spartanburg and waited out the storm there.
