At least 30 people are confirmed dead after Hurricane Ian menaced millions of people this week. Ian hit Cuba, raked across Florida and then did a final assault on South Carolina. Distraught residents waded through knee-high water to salvage possessions.
The powerful storm terrorized millions of people for most of the week, batteringbefore raking across Florida from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean, where it mustered enough strength for a final assault on South Carolina. Now weakened to a post-tropical cyclone, Ian was expected to move across North Carolina then into Virginia and New York.mostly from drowning but others from the storm’s tragic aftereffects.
Eddie Wilder, who has been coming to Pawleys Island for more than six decades, said Friday’s storm was “insane to watch.” He said waves as high as 25 feet washed away the pier — an iconic landmark — just two doors down from his home. Traffic was shut off to Pawleys Island’s southernmost point, where crews were working to clear roadways of sand and other debris that officials said has been piled at least a foot high. The sand will later be redistributed to build back the dunes along the beach front, as happened after similar washing over in 2019.
“Thank God these walls are still here, and we feel very blessed that this is the worst thing,” he said of the sand swept under his home. “What happened in Florida — gosh, God bless us. If we’d had a Category 4, I wouldn’t be here.“
