Storm Surge High Tide = Angry Ocean… This is the view from Myrtle Beach’s Ninth Avenue North, at the boardwalk, about 1:15 this afternoon. Hurricane Ian is nearing landfall between Georgetown and Charleston, then is expected to head overland in a northerly direction. As you can see, huge waves are occasionally touching the boardwalk. The dunes are serving their purpose as the first line of defense. Stay tuned for the 2:00 p.m. update on Hurricane Ian’s location and strength. #myrtlebeach #Cityof
