After this weekend's storm, Seabrook Island has seen some damage to some structures and landscape. Along with this damage, there were several vehicles also impacted from the storm.

A quick assessment by the town noted there were some downed limbs from the wind and quite a bit of vegetative debris from the flood waters. Several vehicles were stuck in the flood water and were rescued by SJFD and some inoperable vehicles were seen scattered throughout the island in areas which sustained heavy flooding.

The Town Hall has not sustained any structural damage, however several Christmas decorations sustained some damaged. 

After assessing the beach areas, there is extensive erosion, with the worst being located between Boardwalks 2 and 3. During the review of the beach, it was noted that several private boardwalks and walkovers have been damaged or destroyed. There is a bit of damage near the beach club, particularly the terrace area. 

Because of extensive damage across the area, Charleston County has set up a damage report survey where citizens can provide information on the extent of damage to their dwellings. For anyone that has any damage please go to the County survey listed below. 

​The county has set up a Citizen Damage Report Form for residents to report damage from the storm.​

Earlier this week, we posted notice of a temporary closure of the Seabrook Island Road bike path due to the installation of drainage improvements at the entrance to Seafields. The town received word from the developer this afternoon that the work has been placed on hold due to a conflict with an underground utility line. Therefore, the path will remain open to bike and pedestrian traffic for the remainder of this week. 

At this time, it is expected that the work affecting the pathway will commence next week, and the path will be closed to traffic at that time. We will post additional information on our website (www.townofseabrookisland.org) and on Tidelines (www.tidelinesblog.com) once the dates are confirmed. 

For more information, please contact Seabrook Island Town Hall at (843) 768-9121.

​A portion of the Seabrook Island Road bike path will be CLOSED to traffic beginning on Tues. August 9th for the installation of drainage improvements near the entrance to the Seafields development. The pathway will be closed between Andell Bluff Boulevard (entrance to Bohicket Marina) and Freshfields Village for the remainder of the week. For your safety and the safety of those working in the area, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to obey all signage and to avoid riding or walking around barricades while the pathway is closed.

The remainder of the pathway between Town Hall and Andell Bluff Boulevard (including both crosswalks) will remain open to bike and pedestrian traffic.

The National Weather Service is forecasting moderate to potentially heavy rainfall in the Charleston region on Saturday night (December 8th) and into Sunday morning (December 9th). Heavy rain and wind are expected to generate higher than normal tides, which have the potential to cause tidal flooding on Seabrook Island Road and other low lying areas. Rain is expected to taper off on Sunday afternoon.

The Post and Courier reports: "Northeast winds from 20 to 30 mph and gusts as high as 40 mph will accompany some 2 to 3 inches of rain." It is possible that Sunday's high tide may "peak above 8 feet - a height that can swamp low-lying streets, can undermine properties as well as exacerbate erosion." [Read the full article here]

While wintry condition are expected to blanket large parts of North and South Carolina this weekend, the current forecast does not anticipate any snow or ice in our area. High temperatures in the Charleston area are expected to reach the low to mid 50's on Saturday and Sunday.
