SINHG Explores Birth Of Hurricanes

The spring series of SINHG Evening Programs at The Lake House begins on Thursday evening, February 8 at 7:00 pm with “The Sands of Africa” presented by Post & Courier senior projects reporter Tony Barthelme, a four-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in journalism.

Barthelme’s multi-part P&C series on the Lowcountry’s hurricane season, “The Sahara Connection”, sent him to the west African desert, where villagers in rural Mauritania and Senegal shared with Barthelme their experience living at the source of the storms that sweep westward across the Atlantic to threaten America’s East and Gulf coasts.

The spring series of SINHG programs will continue in March with “The Irish In Charleston.”

SINHG Evening Programs at Lake House are offered free of charge to SINHG members. There is a $5 fee for non-members. Learn more about the series and register for any or all of the spring Evening Programs at sinhg.org/events-page.

Seabrook Island Natural History Group explores the ecology, history, and culture of the Carolina Lowcountry. For more information about SINHG, please go to sinhg.org.
