The end of Hurricane Season 2009 is mere days away. Here's a look at how we fared this year.
We had 9 named storms, 3 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes reaching category 3 status or higher. Bill was the strongest storm, but Ida caused the most damage with 2.12 million dollars in damages. and 10 deaths.
Ida did most of her damage as a Nor'Easter along the East coast. It looks like the East coast is going to continue to take a beating. They are really struggling with beach erosion along the Outer Banks and Virgina Beaches that started back in Sept. 11th of this year. This will cause problems for the East Coast as we head in to what looks to be an active winter.
The general weather pattern that is setting up looks like Nor'Easter after Nor'Easter will head up the coast. This could make for somewhat of a sloppy winter here along the Grand Strand...and the Pee Dee might even get a taste of snow at some point this winter if this pattern keeps up.
