This year, more and more homeowners are relying on storm recovery services in Horry County. The overactive hurricane season has brought about multiple named storms already, with a few more currently active in the Atlantic Ocean. One such storm is Tropical Storm Karen, which the NOAA is watching carefully.
According to the NOAA, “Regardless of Karen’s status as a tropical cyclone, this system is expected to bring tropical-storm-force winds, heavy rainfall, flash floods, and mudslides.”
After Hurricane Dorian, it appears the worst is not yet behind us.
Caused by the force of the winds around a hurricane or tropical storm, a storm surge is an excessive amount of water pushed toward the shore by the storm. A storm surge is fast, produces inland flooding, and often produces over 20 feet of water at once. Any property in the way are likely to be destroyed along the coast.
The key to coming back stronger than ever after a storm surge is to remain informed and prepare ahead of time.
After the storm has passed, it’s not all sunshine. There will still be dangers around every corner, so take precautions.
