FEMA For Kids: Tornado Story
I was 10 years old when it happened. The date was July 6, 2001. I was looking out the window and saw a dark, towering cumulonimbus cloud about 1 ¾ to 2 miles away. There was lightning and it was just the normal warm but somehow cool temperature for Myrtle Beach. I told my dad that the storm looked harsh and if we go out to eat it should be now. We were still unpacking at out hotel. So we went out the door and I looked up and was amazed. There was a small funnel cloud that had not touched down yet. It was heading towards downtown Myrtle Beach. All of a sudden, a breeze picked up. A lady popped out of a (nearby) door and said something about a twister. I'm not sure whether she was asking if there was one, if she overheard our conversation or she was warning us about the still-approaching tornado. ... [Read More]
USDOJ:CRS: Managing Major Public Events
Grand Strand, South Carolina (Atlantic, Myrtle, and North Myrtle Beach). For many years on Memorial Weekend the City of Atlantic Beach has hosted a Bikefest which attracts large numbers of motorcycle enthusiasts. Between 1994 and 1999, the event grew significantly, and 100,000 attended in 1999. Along with the small area within the boundaries of Atlantic Beach, the participants of Bikefest began using other areas of the Grand Strand, particularly North Myrtle Beach and South Myrtle Beach. This resulted in severe traffic congestion on the only highway running along the beach. ... [Read More]

Beach Nourishment - Professional Dialog
IV. A rock seawall built on top of the nourished beach protects the aforementioned new Renaissance condo development. The wall is constructed of startlingly small cobbles and boulders that will certainly be scattered on the recreational beach after the first significant storm. Poor beach quality such as this upcoming problem in front of the condo is increasingly a national problem because no one minds the store and enforces agreements once funding for the beach has been received, or after the beach is in place. The recently emplaced poor quality beaches on Pine Knoll Shores and Oak Island, North Carolina (discussed earlier in this dialog) are examples of this. In both cases, Colonel Deloney, the Wilmington District colonel, declared both beaches to be just fine, an example of flawed Corps oversight. ... [Read More]
FRB: Beige Book - Richmond
Tourist activity strengthened somewhat in March and early April. Contacts at mountain resorts in Virginia and West Virginia told us cold weather and substantial snowfall helped make this year's ski season the best in recent memory. Coastal tourism, however, was mixed. A respondent from the Outer Banks of North Carolina said that hotel bookings were higher, in part because of events celebrating the centennial of the Wright Brothers first flight. But contacts in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Virginia Beach, Virginia, told us that wet weather had caused some trip cancellations. Despite cold weather and concerns about the war, attendance at the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C., nearly matched last year's approximately 1 million people. ... [Read More]

FRB: Beige Book - Richmond
Tourism was flat since our last report. A contact on the Outer Banks of North Carolina reported a brisk business in beach property rentals in July. Hoteliers in both Virginia Beach and Myrtle Beach, however, said they had to discount prices early in the week of July 4 in order to increase bookings. In addition, a tornado struck a resort area in Myrtle Beach on July 6 and damaged several hotels and put a dent in that area's tourist business. Tourism in Baltimore, Md., also received a setback from a bit of bad luck in July -- a fire in a railroad tunnel caused the postponement of three Baltimore Orioles games at Camden Yards and the cancellation of bookings at nearby hotels. ...
