New steps!

17/10/2016

Matthew washed away our steps and a good bit of the first dune. Ocean breached the first dune where walway from new house was being built. Only place on the beach I saw that happen. Hmmmm...did they cut into the dune? Sure looks like it. Lots of debris left in front of our house and sea oats washed away from where water washed in fro that breach.

High tides to affect beaches, coastal areas in SC this week
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Just weeks after historic rains drenched the state more beach erosion and more flooding along the South Carolina coast is expected this week with another round of astronomical high tides often called king tides.

The National Weather Service issued coastal flood advisories for south coast into southeast Georgia on Monday morning warning of street and lowland flooding. More than an inch of rain is forecast in the Charleston area over the next several days.

Local media outlets report erosion is expected on oceanfront dunes damaged earlier this month. Higher-than-normal tides are expected through Halloween.

A small craft advisory is also in effect off the coast through late Wednesday. Forecasters warned there could be winds of 38 mph and seas of up to 7 feet. Forecasters also warned of a higher risk of rip currents.

In September there was widespread street flooding in Charleston when king tides combined with rains from the remnants of Tropical Storm Erika.

Pawleys Island Mayor Bill Otis, Jr. tells The Sun News of Myrtle Beach (http://bit.ly/1k4Jk8H ) that he expects more erosion this week.

"The fear is that this next king tide will add to the damage already done," he said. "It won't be as dramatic like it was during the last king tide, but it's going to hit these dunes."

Otis said this week's tides will probably mean the causeways leading to the island from the mainland will have to be closed for a time.

"We don't want people driving through when they can't see the road, and we've had people drive off the road," Otis said. "If you can't see the white line, it's dangerous."

Some walkways and stairs leading to beaches in Georgetown County are still closed because of recent erosion damage.

This week's high tides are expected to mean some street flooding in Garden City, said Horry County spokeswoman Lisa Bourcier.

She said officials are still calculating the damage done to the county's 14 miles of beaches in recent storms.

This week's high tides could further erode beaches "but it definitely won't be like the storm we had," Bourcier said.

Grand Strand beaches will take another pounding of king tides beginning Sunday that are predicted to deliver a two-foot higher surf and further scour fragile dunes already damaged by the recent historic storm.

Water bills very high - used 33,900 gallons mid-September tip Mid-October. - We have had some toilets hanging up and running continuously in the past and have repaired them on several occasion Please check all toilets before leaving. Usage has been as low as 2,700 gallons last January and 27,000 last july...Sewage fee is double water fee so we get hit twice as bad when water runs....
