Hurricane Ian Advisory #2

Hurricane Ian Advisory #2
September 26, 2022 – 3:00 pm

On Monday, September 26, 2022, officials from the Town of Seabrook Island participated in a regional conference call with Charleston County Emergency Management Department (“CCEMD”) to receive an update on Hurricane Ian.
 
Hurricane Ian was upgraded from a tropical storm on Monday morning. It is expected to rapidly intensify once it enters the Gulf of Mexico and is forecast to become a major hurricane on Tuesday. While confidence in the storm track remains uncertain, current models predict Ian to make landfall on the Florida Gulf coast late Thursday or early Friday.
 
According to National Weather Service Charleston, the key takeaways from today’s call were as follows:

  • Gusty winds, possibly to tropical storm force, are expected to develop Wednesday night through Friday. Winds will be highest over southeastern Georgia and along the immediate South Carolina coast.
  • The threat for coastal flooding will become more likely with the high tides beginning on Wednesday. Tides could reach moderate to perhaps major coastal flood levels on Thursday and perhaps Friday. Any rainfall that coincides with high tide will exacerbate conditions.
  • Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall will become more likely Thursday night through Friday. Locally heavy rainfall could result in flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Between 6-8 inches of rainfall are possible by Friday.
  • Isolated brief tornadoes and waterspouts are possible late Thursday night into Friday.
  • High surf, dangerous rip currents, and beach erosion will be possible.
 
Residents, property owners and visitors are advised to monitor local media outlets for updates on Hurricane Ian and to make early preparations for potential storm impacts, including possible power outages. Forecasts are also updated regularly on the National Hurricane Center website at www.hurricanes.gov.
 
The Town of Seabrook Island remains at OPCON 3 (Normal Operating Conditions) as we continue to monitor Hurricane Ian.
 
The next Town advisory is anticipated to be distributed after the CCEMD conference call on the afternoon of Tuesday, September 27th, unless conditions warrant an earlier update.
 
Property owners and managers with rental guests should forward this information to their rental guests. Owners and managers of commercial establishments are also encouraged to share this information with their employees.
