Finally, the hydrology folks at NWS are producing forecasts for the gauges in Pawley's Island. Because the water headed our way is moving so slowly, crests are expected Friday or Saturday about 1 - 3 feet higher than the last tide. This is very good news when you consider the worst-case scenarios we were receiving.
The Bridges are open and may not close at all based on the new estimates. Freshwater should be available throughout the flood, dikes have been build around pumping stations to protect them. We have been asked to reduce our water usage by 50% The Coastguard has closed the Inter Coastal Waterway from Georgetown to the little River ( We are still boiling our water and/or drinking our emergency supply until this passes.)
