Tropical Storm Isaias Passes By

Hilton Head Island South Carolina

Today was a good day for coastal Georgia and parts of South Carolina.  Tropical storm Isaias stayed far enough off shore to produce some wind gusts and rain bands but nothing too bad.

I went out at 9 this morning and here’s what it looked like:

Yellow flags flying-rip currents, extreme danger for swimmers

Hopefully, folks will heed the warning and this young man will have an uneventful day

I finished taking photos just in time to get inside before the rain came pouring down. It stayed that way until about 3PM…..

Thats when I went back out and you can see the storm was now about 80 miles off shore.  The waves still had a good kick, but the mean clouds had moved on.

The flag has been upgraded to red-that is the most dangerous warning for swimmers, indicating high surf and dangerous currents.

Folks enjoy the surf while staying cautious

Not me, I just get my toes wet 🙂

Tonight Isaias is traveling north and has  picked up strength.   It is now a category 1 hurricane expected to make landfall near the North/South Carolina line.  Hopefully, it will move through without much damage.

The storm lowered the temperature into the 80’s and that was a welcome relief from the heat.

Thanks for stopping by
