The storm path is moving more to the north east. Current forecast calls for a North Carolina hit. This is great news for us at Seabrook Island. We will delay any decision to prep properties until at least Thursday.

Hurricane Irene continues to show signs of potentially affecting our area beginning this weekend. We are implementing our hurricane preparedness plan beginning Wednesday morning. We do not know if the storm will hit our coastline but take preliminary steps to secure property. We will:
Pull in outdoor furniture.
Secure outdoor items or bring inside
Close all interior window treatments
Turn off H20 breakers
Turn off icemakers
