Just inland from Myrtle Beach...

Perfectly calm wind, which is VERY strange. It's extremely rare to have calm winds here during the day.

No rain in the last couple of hours. Birds were going crazy earlier, but now all that's left are hummingbirds. The larger birds have disappeared.


EDIT: Just as I posted this it started to rain, so nevermind about that part. 8-)

It is very calm here now at 10am. The rain has stopped for now. The sky is still very dark grey, and there are a few breezes from time to time.

I'm surprised how weak this system really is so far.............even Dennis of 1981 was far more significant.
Might as well go fishing, there's just nothing going on here in N Chas.......... :roll: :D :D

Even though everything's calm right now, apparently Ernesto is picking up some steam as he's chugging towards us. I'm very concerned that Horry County schools are not closing early today, but Brunswick County schools north of us are. Honestly, there are no concerns here as far as the public is concerned.

Okay, the rain really picked up and the gusts are getting stronger. I can hear the leaves move now outside. They are gusts though, nothing steady yet.
