Re: *Weather Alert* *Very serious...
Our tides ran 2-3.5 feet BELOW normal during the blow.
This from the NWS:
Blowout tides -
Since yesterday afternoon, tides along the southeast South Carolina and southeast Georgia coasts have been running over 2 to 3 feet below predicted levels.
These conditions were the result of very strong offshore winds and low barometric pressure occurring during the same time. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as blowout tides, also known as depressed sea level.
We had a lot of wind from Saturday night through last night, but very little of the much needed rain. Heritage golf tournament had to be postponed until today, it became so dangerous on the course. One of the course marshalls was hit by a pine tree branch and taken to the hospital (he is okay). My yard is covered with oak and pine debris -- it'll take me all of my evenings this week to clean it up. But it could have been worse, I suppose.
