  • Gas prices skyrocket as Houston shuts down

    Prices at local gas pumps have jumped as much as 40 cents a gallon this week as Hurricane Harvey’s 50-plus inches of rain swamped South Texas and closed oil refineries in the Houston area, and shortages are possible.
    The worst rain event in U.S. history has jolted gas markets just before the busy Labor Day travel weekend, and local and national fuel-industry experts say it’s uncertain how long the disruption to supplies will last, or how high prices will go at the pumps.

  • Woolford Extreme 4 winner

    The Lancaster Super Speedway wait was worth it.

    Lancaster Super Speedway officials had a long wait during a rainstorm from about 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday. On the radar, it was the only Carolinas rain storm that night, so LSS owner Doug McManus waited it out and the main events were a draw and run, skipping the heat races.

    BUFORD – If it was not clear before Friday night, Buford versus Indian Land is Lancaster County's best football rivalry.

    The latest game was typical of the series: intense, with a number of emotional and momentum swings, and thanks to the turnovers and penalties, it felt longer than a “Lord of the Rings” movie.
