Hurricane Ian Update
Thursday, September 29, 2022. 11:00 am ET
The Schooner II team is currently monitoring Hurricane Ian closely.
The National Weather Service has now issued a Hurricane Warning for the Myrtle Beach, SC area (Horry & Georgetown Counties). A Hurricane Warning means that winds of 74+ mph are expected within the next 24 hours.
THE LATEST TRACK CONTINUES TO SHOW THAT “IAN” WILL BE A CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE.
On the forecast track, Ian will approach the coast of South Carolina on Friday. The center will move farther inland across the Carolinas Friday night and Saturday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 70 mph with higher gusts. Ian is expected to become a hurricane again this evening and make landfall as a hurricane on Friday, with rapid weakening forecast after landfall. Ian is a large cyclone.
We ask that you please continue to monitor the storm, prepare for dangerous winds, and finalize any plans to depart the resort ahead of the storm.
Be safe,
Schooner II Team
