People ask on a regular basis about what happens when a hurricane hits the Myrtle Beach area.  My reply is that with a hurricane you have advance warning usually several days.  I might also mention that tornados are much more dangerous and can hit anywhere in the country. 

Since I was in La Plata, Maryland when a tornado destroyed the town I have first hand knowledge of how no warning and mother natures furry can be worse then a hurricane.  Today I heard that a tornado type (not confirmed as yet) storm hit New York City and various areas in Ohio.  I hope everyone is safe.

A new neighborhood is joining The Grande Dunes named Cipriana - Grande Dunes.

A beautiful day at the beach with no signs of the hurricane named Earl.  It passed by hundreds of miles away from the coastal area of North Myrtle Beach. 

A client told me they had a concern about storms at the beach.  I explained that there are storms everywhere in the country that give no advance warning but if their concern was hurricanes at least we know in advance a general area where they are expected to make landfall.
