Myrtle Beach is being hammered by a tropical depression today. The wind has been howling around the hotel since we arrived yesterday and today around 2pm the rain started. It came down in sheets and the wind got even stronger. Of course it started just after we walked down the beach to the pier for lunch. It made for a long wet walk back to the hotel.
The eye of the storm passed over us around 9pm tonight. We were having dinner in the shopping district known as "Barefoot Landing" when it arrived. It was very strange to go from heavy rain and wind to no rain and wind and then back to heavy rain over the space of 10 minutes. The waitress didn't seem to concerned about the storm. She told us the water temperature is still warm enough to support hurricanes. Her only concern was that when she got home she would have to take her puppy out for his nightly walk in the rain.
The winds finally died down tonight around midnight.
Hey Myrtle Beach Gals, yes we are staying at the Palms Resort! We have a one bedroom in the South building. Brian likes our one bedroom condo! Even though the wind howled at the bedroom window all night. The open space near the elevators is a real wind tunnel. I even debated on sleeping on the murphy bed (Linda S's bed) in the living room. It is hard to believe the living room was quieter.
Wendy the front desk clerk is not here because she broke her foot. She will be back next week. I was disappointed I didn't get to see Wendy!
