Updated Tidal Forecasts for PI: 9 '18

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.) 

Kings River Highway closed: 9 '16

The Kings River Highway is closed Just north of All Saints

The water is a few inches higher than it was from Hurricane Matthew.  The police tried to keep the road open longer today, but people were driving fast causing waves to roll into the flooded houses on either side

Flo is gone but not forgotten: 9 '18

The storm has passed, but nothing much is back to normal, and for many it will take days even weeks, to set things straight.

Most gas stations, grocery stores, shops, schools, entertainment venues, and civic institutions remain closed as authorities assessed the integrity of bridges and roadways, and surveyed the date in order to put a recovery plan in place.
