Tropical Storm Hanna Passes Quickly - Back to Beautiful Myrtle Beach Fall Weather!

After a week of preparation for a potential hurricane heading our way, we are pleased to report that Tropical Storm Hanna passed through Myrtle Beach with barely a whimper as we slept through the night.  Winds around 55 mph blew through our area between 12 am and 5 am on Saturday morning and aside from some clean up left to be done from blown leaves, pine straw and other small debris from trees, the effects of Hanna were hardly noticeable.

And in more good news from local weather reports, it appears that Hurricane Ike will be heading elsewhere and Tropical Storm Josephine has begun to dissipate in the Atlantic.  We are fortunate that our beautiful coastal location has only been placed under one evacuation since 1999 with Hurricane Charley in 2004, and as it turned out, even Charley posed very little threat to the Grand Strand.

We should not fail to mention that with Hurricane Ike appearing to be headed to the Gulf of Mexico, we want to send our best wishes to those in that region as well as to those who have been affected by Hurricane Gustav.
