WYFF NEWS FOUR AT SIX STARTS RIGHT NOW. SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING HAVE PLAGUED OUR AREA THIS AFTERNOON EVENING. COMING UP I’LL MAP OUT WHERE WE GO TONIGHT AND THE ADDITIONAL LIVE SUPER DOPPLER FOUR IMPACT DAYS. I’M PEYTON FURTADO A GREENVILLE COUNTRY CLASSIC CLOSING ITS DOORS. WHY SOME BAR OWNERS SAY IT’S ONE PART OF A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM. AN UPSTATE THRIFT SHOP GOES UP IN FLAMES. THEY WERE DOING THEIR THEIR THING. AND, UH, BECAUSE THEY DID, THEY THEY THEY SAVED THIS BUILDING TONIGHT. FIREFIGHTERS EFFORTS SAVED A VALUABLE. COMMUNITY RESOURCE TO HONOR THEM ALONG WITH THEIR PARENTS AND JUST SHOW THEM MORGAN’S LOVE EVEN MORE. AN UPSTATE WOMAN’S LEGACY LIVES ON THROUGH A NEW SCHOLARSHIP. THE SPECIAL CONNECTION THE TWO RECIPIENTS SHARE OUR TOP STORY AT SIX. THOUGH TODAY IS A LIVE SUPER DOPPLER FOUR ALERT DAY, HERE’S A LIVE LOOK FROM WOODRUFF ROAD. THE WOODRUFF ROAD SKY CAM, TO BE EXACT, A VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY IT LOOKS A LITTLE WHILE AGO. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRIS JUSTICE IS HERE AND THESE STORMS JUST MOVE THROUGH. CHRIS YEAH, THEY REALLY DID. GREENVILLE THAT ONE WAS BLOCKING IT. THE ONE IN CHEROKEE COUNTY SET AND TRAINED OVER THE SAME AREA OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THAT’S WHY YOU’VE GOT FLOODING FOR THE REST OF US HAS BEEN ROCKING AND ROLLING TONIGHT. LIGHTNING, THUNDER, HEAVY RAIN, EVEN SOME HAIL OUT OF THIS. SO LOOK AT LIVE SUPER DOPPLER FOUR. IT’S GIVING US THAT INSTANT LOOK AT WHERE THE STORMS ARE LOCATED. THE WORST OF THEM RIGHT NOW OVER SOUTHERN UNION COUNTY WHITMIRE UP THROUGH CARLISLE TO UNION, RIGHT ALONG THE NEWBERRY UNION COUNTY LINE AND THEN BACK TOWARD THE NORTH. WE’VE HAD THIS FLOODING CONCERNS HERE ACROSS CHEROKEE COUNTY. THIS WARNING GOES FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 45 MINUTES. IT’S THIS AREA THAT HAD THAT CELL JUST REPEAT OVER THE SAME AREAS AND PUT DOWN THREE AND A HALF TO 4.5IN OF RAIN AND 90 MINUTES. THAT’S A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. SO WE DO COUNT ON SOME ROADS THAT ARE FLOODED RIGHT NOW IN THESE AREAS OF CHEROKEE COUNTY. THEY SHOULD SIMMER DOWN WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR. NOW THAT YOU’RE DRY, WE’VE GOT ADDITIONAL RAIN TRYING TO MOVE IN TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF PICKENS AND THE GREENVILLE COUNTY HERE. THIS COULD SKIRT INTO AREAS LIKE HALE, PARKER, GREENVILLE AND MAULDIN. AT ABOUT 622, COMING UP, I’LL MAP OUT ADDITIONAL STORM CHANCES AND ANOTHER LIVE SUPER DOPPLER FOUR IMPACT DAY FOR YOUR WEEKEND. CHRIS. THANK YOU. HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, THE CITY OF GREENVILLE LEADERS THERE ARE REVEALING PROPOSED CHANGES THEY SAY COULD IMPROVE WADE HAMPTON BOULEVARD. YOU’RE TAKING A LIVE LOOK INSIDE WHITE OAK BAPTIST CHURCH WHERE THE MEETING IS BEING HELD. OFFICIALS ARE PROPOSING INTERSECTION CHANGES AT CHURCH STREET AND REDUCING THE NUMBER OF LANES FROM 7 TO 4. CITY LEADERS SAY THE GOAL IS TO CREATE A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS, AS WELL AS SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC. OTHER CHANGES INCLUDE REALIGNING WHITE OAK ROAD WITH BRADLEY BOULEVARD AND EVALUATING CREATING A GATEWAY THAT STARTS NEAR BOB JONES UNIVERSITY. WE’LL HAVE MORE ON THIS TONIGHT ON WYFF NEWS FOUR AT 11. MORE REACTION COMING IN TONIGHT AFTER A LONG-TIME BUSINESS IN GREENVILLE CLOSED ITS DOORS FOR GOOD, THE BLIND HORSE SALOON PUT A STATEMENT ONLINE BLAMING A SOUTH CAROLINA LAW. PEYTON FURTADO IS LIVE IN GREENVILLE WITH MORE PEYTON. NIGEL. THE BLIND HORSE SALOON IS NOT THE ONLY BAR THAT’S BEEN AFFECTED BY THESE LAWS. THEY’VE BEEN A PART OF THE COMMUNITY FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS. INTRODUCING COUNTRY MUSIC ARTISTS TO OUR REGION BEFORE THEY MAKE IT BIG, OFTENTIMES. BUT YESTERDAY, THEY DID REACH THAT STATEMENT, PUT IT ON FACEBOOK SAYING IT WAS ALL DUE TO LIQUOR LIABILITY INSURANCE LAWS. THEY’RE HAVING TO CLOSE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. NOW, THIS LIQUOR LIABILITY LAW REQUIRES BUSINESSES SERVING ALCOHOL, SPECIFICALLY LIQUOR, TO HAVE $1 MILLION OR MORE IN LIABILITY COVERAGE. AND IT’S RAISED INSURANCE RATES AROUND THE STATE. PUTTING SOME BARS LIKE THIS ONE OUT OF BUSINESS. WHILE MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING STEVE BARRETT SAYS THAT MEASURES SHOULDN’T HURT RESPONSIBLE BUSINESSES ON ROADS AS DANGEROUS AS OURS, VICTIMS NEED JUSTICE. WE ARE THE WORST STATE IN THE NATION FOR DRUNK DRIVING. WE HAVE 474 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES TO DRUNK DRIVING. THAT WAS THE FIFTH HIGHEST TOTAL IN THE COUNTRY. WE’RE 23RD IN POPULATION SLEEVES. BOTH ARMS NOW, ANOTHER PART OF THIS LAW, VERY CONTROVERSIAL. IT ALLOWS FOR PEOPLE VICTIMIZED IN DRUNK DRIVING CRASHES TO SUE BARS WHO SERVED THE DRIVER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY DRINKS THAT PERSON HAD THERE. SO IF A BAR GAVE B ONE DRINK AND THEN ANOTHER BAR GAVE YOU EIGHT DRINKS, BOTH COULD TECHNICALLY BE HELD 100% RESPONSIBLE. NOW PEOPLE ON THE BUSINESS SIDE SAY THAT THAT’S UNFAIR TO THE RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS. SOME ON THE OTHER SIDE SAY THAT THIS RARELY EVER HAPPENS. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THAT ENTIRE DEBATE FOR YOU ON WYFF 4.COM, BUT FOR NOW LIVE IN GREENVILLE. I’M PEYTON FURTADO WYFF NEWS FOUR. PEYTON, THANK YOU. IN PICKENS COUNTY, THE CORONER HAS IDENTIFIED A MAN WHO WAS FOUND DEAD OUTSIDE A HOME IN EASLEY. ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS. EASLEY POLICE WERE CALLED TO WEST BE AVENUE YESTERDAY MORNING ABOUT A SUSPICIOUS PERSON. ONCE ON SCENE, OFFICERS SAY THEY FOUND A MAN DEAD IN THE HOME’S YARD. THE CORONER’S OFFICE IDENTIFIED THE MAN AS 24 YEAR OLD CAVASSA BROWN, WHO HAD BEEN FATALLY SHOT. INVESTIGATORS ARE CALLING THE INCIDENT A HOMICIDE. THE SHOOTING REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION. GREENVILLE POLICE SAY THEY USED OLD CELL PHONE DATA AND A LICENSE PLATE READER TO CATCH TWO ROBBERY SUSPECTS. THE ROBBERIES HAPPENED ON SUNDAY IN WEST GREENVILLE. POLICE SAY ONE MAN WAS ROBBED AT GUNPOINT WHEN OFFICERS TRACKED DOWN THE SUSPECT’S VEHICLE. POLICE SAY THEY FOUND $10,000 IN CASH, GUNS, DRUGS AND SOME PERSONAL ITEMS FROM THE VICTIMS. A FIRE AT A LOCAL THRIFT STORE IN ANDERSON COUNTY CAUGHT FIRE EARLY THIS MORNING. A COMMUNITY STAPLE, THE HAVEN OF REST THRIFT STORE ON WEST ORA STREET WENT UP IN FLAMES. NOW, ANDERSON CITY FIRE OFFICIALS SAY THE FIRE IS DEEMED SUSPICIOUS. OUR TANIQUA PENNIX HAS THE LATEST. GOOD EVENING. NOW YOU CAN’T SEE MUCH HERE. I’M TOLD MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS INSIDE AND IT’S CAUSED BY SMOKE. ALSO, FURTHER BACK, I’M BEING TOLD THAT FIREFIGHTERS HAD TO CUT A HOLE THROUGH THE ROOF JUST TO GET INSIDE. OFFICIALS SAY THE FIRE BROKE OUT RIGHT BEFORE 130, BUT THE CAUSE OF FIRE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HAVEN OF REST, EDDIE CAPPS, TELLS ME THE FIRE STARTED IN A DUMPSTER THAT’S OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. HE SAYS FIRE CREWS FROM THREE DEPARTMENTS WERE ON THE SCENE AND THEIR QUICK ACTION SAVED THE BUILDING. HOWEVER, THE STORE WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL THE STORE IS CLEANED AND DEEMED SAFE FOR THE PUBLIC. WE’VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO IN THERE BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS THAT GOT PUSHED AROUND, AND SO WE’VE GOT TO CLEAN UP AND THE WHOLE INVENTORY OF THE STORE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY SMOKE AND SO, YOU KNOW, THAT IS THAT’S ONE OF OUR MAIN REVENUE SOURCES. HAVEN OF REST MINISTRIES IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, MINISTRY THAT HELPS PEOPLE WITH LIFE DOMINATING PROBLEMS SUCH AS DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION. PROCEEDS FROM THE STORE GOES TOWARDS ITS MISSION. ALTHOUGH THIS LOCATION IS CLOSED, PEOPLE HERE IN ANDERSON CAN SUPPORT THE OTHER HAVEN OF REST LOCATION, WHICH IS AT MIRACLE MILE. IT’S ABOUT TEN MINUTES FROM HERE REPORTING IN ANDERSON, TANIQUA PENNIX WYFF NEWS FOUR. TODAY IS PIECE OFFICER MEMORIAL DAY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT IS TAKING TIME TO REMEMBER AND PAY TRIBUTE TO THEIR FALLEN OFFICERS. THE SPARTANBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT HELD A CEREMONY HONORING THOSE HEROIC MEN AND WOMEN THIS MORNING. THE SPARTANBURG COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE HELD ITS ANNUAL WREATH LAYING. I DON’T WANT ANYBODY TO THINK THIS IS THE ONLY DAY WE RECOGNIZE AND REMEMBER THEM, BECAUSE WE LIVE OUR LIVES EVERY DAY TO FURTHER WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEN THEIR LIVES WERE CUT SHORT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WISH WOULD NEVER HAPPEN, BUT WHEN IT DOES, WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY AND OBLIGATION TO KEEP THEIR LEGACY GOING. MAY 15TH HAS BEEN PEACE OFFICER MEMORIAL DAY SINCE 1962. AS SUMMER APPROACHES, SENDING KIDS AWAY TO CAMP CAN RAISE REAL CONCERNS FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN FACING HEALTH CHALLENGES. HIS CAMP BUDDY IN MARIETTA OFFERS SUMMER FUN THAT’S MEDICALLY SUPERVISED CHILDREN FROM AGES 6 TO 12 WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH TYPE ONE DIABETES CAN ENJOY LOTS OF SUMMER ACTIVITIES. PRISMA HEALTH CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL PROVIDES PHYSICIANS, NURSES, THERAPISTS AND NUTRITION ON SITE. FUN IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOW YOUR BODY IS FEELING WHEN YOU’RE LITTLE. UM, AND SO I KNEW SHE WAS IN A SAFE PLACE BECAUSE OF THAT CAMP. BUDDY WILL BE HELD JUNE 28TH THROUGH JUNE 30TH. IT IS 100% FUNDED BY YOUR DONATIONS, AND TOMORROW WIFE IS PARTNERING WITH IHEART MEDIA AND PRISMA HEALTH TO RAISE MONEY WITH THE WE CARE INITIATIVE LIVE. THERE WILL BE WAYS TO GIVE SECURELY OVER THE PHONE, ONLINE OR BY TEXT ALL DAY TOMORROW ON WIFE FOR IN ANDERSON COUNTY, THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS SPENT THE DAY BY THE LAKE. IT’S PART OF THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS DAY PROGRAM FOR ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. THEY MET EVERY DAY FOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, AND TODAY THEY HOSTED ANGLERS TO SEE THEIR FISHING BOATS. I JUST LIKE TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IF YOU GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, THE COMMUNITY WILL GIVE BACK TO YOU AT SOME POINT. THIS WAS HIS SECOND YEAR IN A ROW. THE SPECIA
