NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- The City of North Myrtle Beach continues to monitor Tropical Storm Debby.
We are thankful that North Myrtle Beach saw much lesser impacts than what was projected.
Our EOC is open through 7 PM this evening. At that time, we will move back from OPCON 1 to OPCON 3, which is Normal Daily Operations. Out of an abundance of caution, we will have Fire, Police, and Public Works crews available to monitor conditions overnight tonight.
There are no significant road closures or other impacts throughout the City. Keep in mind that we are not 100% in the clear, which means there may be isolated impacts throughout today, depending on if we receive any more significant rainfall.
As the system moves further away from our area, we expect some gusty winds and a chance for heavy bands of rain.
We remain under a Tropical Storm Warning until further notice.
There is a High Rip Current Risk through 8 PM tonight.
We are under a High Surf Advisory through Saturday, August 10.
There is a Flood Watch through 8 AM on Friday, August 9.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible North Myrtle Beach Fire Rescue, North Myrtle Beach Police, and North Myrtle Beach Ocean Rescue for their unwavering dedication to keeping our community safe during Tropical Storm Debby.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to the Public Works Department and all essential personnel who have worked tirelessly to ensure our City remains prepared and resilient.
Your hard work and commitment are truly appreciated!
