Late Monday
morning, Sept. 12, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford called for voluntary
evacuation of all areas in Georgetown County east of Highway 17 *
and east of Highway 17 bypass in Murrells Inlet. The notice was
given because Hurricane Ophelia is expected to bring Tropical Force
winds (from 39 to 58 mph) into Georgetown County from 3 a.m.
Tuesday, Sept. 13, through most of the day Wednesday, Sept. 14. As
of Monday morning, officials expected the storm to make landfall
somewhere in North Carolina.
The shelter at Pleasant Hill
Elementary School will open at 4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12.
Because
of the weather and voluntary evacuation notice, there will be no
school in the Georgetown County School District on Tuesday, Sept.
13. A decision on whether school will be in session on Wednesday,
Sept. 14, will be made late Tuesday, Sept. 13. That information will
be available at 436-7043 and on local media outlets.
