Wildfires in Horry County, South Carolina

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Southern Shores

First of all, thank you for everyone who has expressed concern and is keeping everyone in our area in their thoughts.  The fire is a very frightening problem right now, although I am on the south end of Myrtle Beach about a mile west of the ocean and not in immediate danger but there is really nothing that I can do to help the families who have had to flee to escape the fire.  Here is a link to a map of the fire in Horry County.  I'm getting some clothes together to donate and tomorrow I'm going to pick up some bottled water to bring to the Red Cross.  Anything else? 

Our local paper, The Sun News, has a lot of pictures and videos of the fire.  We have been hearing from a lot of our clients who are worried about their properties and calling to check on us as well.  Looking north you can just see a huge smoke covering.  It's scary but the community has really pulled together to help get everyone who has been (and continues to be) affected through it so we will just keep our thoughts with the firefighters, police and everyone else who is fighting the fire as well as everyone who has been evacuated from their homes.

Jenn, we love N. Myrtle Beach and hopefully with the wind dying off they can contain the rest of the fire, then have to watch for flareups in the Carolina Bogs.  Thanks for the update.
