What little information we have at this time is as follows:
A resident reports numerous trees down, some building damage, car damage and some flooding to vehicles and two buildings. Several areas of the parking lot remain impassable due to high water. We have not spoken directly to the resident so we cannot share more specifics at this time.
We have contracted with a tree removal service for cleanup, but the crews were turned away at the bridge. The company will return as soon access to the island is given. At that time we will have a better idea of the exrent of the damage to the property.
Off island is becoming a large parking lot as people are returning to the area before being allowed. Please wait until the all clear is given before trying to return to the area. Please check this link for information concerning return to the island.
According to the press conference held by Governor Haley on 10/8/16, she cautioned us to be aware of cyber scams. If you receive an email referring to “Updates on Outages”, do not open the email or click the links. As always, if you do not know the person sending the email, do not take action to open it, this includes any unsolicited emails regarding Hurricane Matthew.
