Everyone living in one of the coastal flood prone areas( such as; Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet, Cherry Grove and Garden City) is being advised by the National Weather Service to be on alert for flood conditions caused by extra high tides due to the Super moon which isn't even at its fullest yet. The moon will become full on September 28th - this Monday...which mean we can expect higher than normal high tides through the middle of next week. Usually that means that waves rolls through the carports of the Carolina houses and the public beach parking on the South end of the Island. At the same time the tidal creek over-flows the one and only access road on the island. That may make for some spectacular photographs, but it also creates some dangerous driving conditions. The Pawleys Island Police Department is advising everyone who doesn't have to be on the Island to stay clear until the water subsides. Not only is the salt water hard on your automobile, but it is very easy to misjudge where the road is under the water, and drive into the marsh.
