The Sun News has the details in their write-up. Read that here.


First Report: There may be no wind damage or flooding in our forecast, but some Myrtle Beach businesses will sustain financial damage just from the threat of a hurricane.

Aside from Spring, September through November is prime wedding season and it begins with the last weekend in August. WPDE has an interesting take on how Irene has generated some bridezillas and trouble for local wedding planners. Read and watch it here.

WBTW did a similar package on the tourism industry and how the approaching storms are wrapping up the Summer season a little sooner than business owners would like. That's over here. The Sun News also published a more in-depth report. That's here.
