I was there during the hurricane. I was staying at the oceanfront resort right in front of the amusement park

[@glennbuttermore7842]

We are staying in the 76th Ave. area. Large piles of Sea Grass that blocked access is now mostly cleared. State is doing a great job. Taking a trip to look @ Shrimp boat today.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Glad they are making fast progress with the cleanup!

[@megankibe97]

I live in socastee but I work at 30th avenue Dunkin. We were open during most of the storm and we had to go home at peek at the storm and I was able to drive 20 minutes in the store and I was fine. I've had our regular customers show us where they're inground pool became the ocean and the storm surge was 4 ft up on the glass at the South end. Please pray that those businesses recover from this I've even heard stories of a regular customers mom who is a housekeeper who had to work in this and they had to be rescued out of the second floor during the storm. Again please pray. To me and other locals this is a storm not a hurricane

[@lisak6226]

The facade on Ripley’s Believe it or Not was “ripped” like that from Hurricane Hugo back in 1989. Before that storm it was just a regular looking building. Thanks for the video.

[@CarmenandBrian]

You're welcome! Hugo was a terrible storm for sure.

[@glennwisse6271]

I think facade is pronounced like fasahd not faycayed. Check it out. Nice video though ❤

[@CarmenandBrian]

@@glennwisse6271 Thanks!

[@badge2045]

The strength of the.palm trees is amazing.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Agreed!

[@eliasadam2345]

Ocean club hotel/apartments stayed there 2 years ago. Love that part of Ocean Blvd. The shop across the street is run by a nice fellow.. Glad to see Myrtle Beach is mostly intact.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Yes compared to Florida Myrtle Beach was definitely fortunate.

[@twisterman101new4]

In case anyone is wondering That ship was out fishing on Thursday night and got trapped during the strong waves and anchored and called out and abandoned it. During the Eye/Eyewall of the hurricane the ship got unanchored and got dragged by the waves onto the beach causing a lot of police units and fire units fly around Ocean Blvd. Insane how powerful the Cat 1 is and my first hurricane of experiencing my first hurricane here. (This story was provided by the Myrtle Beach Fire Department)

[@CarmenandBrian]

Thanks for sharing the details!

[@twisterman101new4]

@@CarmenandBrian You're welcome. I just knew main news sources hadn't posted about it so I was sure people would wonder. Hope you both did fine during the hurricane!

[@CarmenandBrian]

@@twisterman101new4 We did thanks!

[@kenreinbeau9207]

We are set to arrive at Ocean Lakes this Friday for a week. Been closely watching all I can about the area. Such a shame- Its a beautiful place.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Hopefully everything will go well for your trip!

[@paranormalpixielara5961]

We're staying at Oceans 22 and while the dunes are mostly gone, the surge never made it to the hotel. And we just came back from the Ripleys aquarium and there was no sign of damage.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Glad everything went well for you! Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip! Gorgeous weather now!

[@kat1321]

I was at Westgate

[@pennyholliday7981]

My family & I were at Cherry Grove in North Myrtle Beach labor day. We go every year. We love Myrtle Beach. I prayed that it would be spared. Blessings from Ohio

[@marcweiser8669]

Where from in ohio might i ask

[@CarmenandBrian]

Sadly cherry grove sustained quite a bit of damage. Hopefully they’ll bounce back before your visit next time!

[@thomasroberts8505]

It's so sad to see Myrtle Beach like this. I just left there 2 weeks ago and it was so beautiful.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Yes but it will get better! It's a strong city and bounces back fast!

[@jikook7457]

I'm so relieved to see you posted. I was concerned for you. Praying for all effected

[@CarmenandBrian]

Thank you! We were very fortunate.

[@badge2045]

Such a beautiful city. It looks like it was a well built area. Stay strong beautiful myrtle beach. Ty kids for a great ride

[@CarmenandBrian]

It really did weather the storm pretty well overall!

[@diannethomas537]

We arrived 2 days post-Ian and we were amazed by how much clean up was done during the week we were there.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Yes they’ve been doing an amazing job! Hope you’re enjoying your trip!

[@bestlifechanges]

We stay at Ocean Lakes Campground in the winter. They closed it down to campers for one day. But, sounds like their rec center had some damage.

[@CarmenandBrian]

That's a shame. Hopefully they can repair it quickly!

[@charlieerardi4221]

Thank you so much for this video. I was wondering how Myrtle Beach fared from Hurricane Ian. You always come through. It’s such a relief to see the damage was so minimal.

[@CarmenandBrian]

You are so welcome!

[@msmoss8515]

Thanks for the video update. I close in 10 days on a condo close to Broadway at the Beach so glad to see things looking pretty good there. Love all of your videos!

[@CarmenandBrian]

We had a house in that area and we loved it so hopefully you'll really enjoy your condo! Thank you!

[@timallen9381]

I'll be down the 29th can't wait to get back

[@CarmenandBrian]

We hope you have a great time!

[@ReesaReel]

ty for sharing i have a cousin and his wife that lives in Myrtle beach...i was born and raised in sc and spent most my summers in Myrtle Beach..but been in Calif since 07 always loved going to the Gay Dolphin Gift shop

[@CarmenandBrian]

Yes the Gay Dolphin is always a fun place to shop!

[@MaddHeather]

I'm from Ohio but myrtle Beach is mine and my teenage daughters favorite place in the whole world.. thank you for doing this.. one day I'll make my way back down there to the beach

[@CarmenandBrian]

Hope you're able to visit soon!

[@krystalsalone2170]

We didn't get damaged compared to fla. Fla is so devastating. My friends and Familia in fla lost everything. So heart broken

[@CarmenandBrian]

Yes Florida is so devastated. It’s horrible!

[@mississippi880]

I hope everyone is ok thier and God bless to everyone

[@CarmenandBrian]

Thank you!

[@dave8059]

We'll be there in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the excellent informative video!

[@CarmenandBrian]

Hope you have a great trip! Thanks for the kind words!

[@shellygoo1968]

Great vid thanks! I would think the swings(Broadway At the Beach) would be all tangled!

[@CarmenandBrian]

I’ve seen them take the swings down for maintenance, so it’s possible they did that and got them back up before we went by.

[@robh063]

We'll be in Myrtle Beach Oct. 30th-Nov. 7th Thanks for showing us what was damaged and what wasn't. Hopefully it will be all cleaned up and repairs will be underway by the time we arrive.

[@CarmenandBrian]

I think in Myrtle Beach proper, things will be back to normal very soon. Have a great trip!

[@robh063]

@@CarmenandBrian Thanks for the well wishes! We're looking forward to it!

[@krystalsalone2170]

Wow

[@jamesarnold2841]

thank yall ! any info on surfside

[@CarmenandBrian]

We biked through Surfside and overall it looked mostly OK. Definitely some flooding, but most houses are on stilts there. Just like Myrtle the dunes are gone and damage to some ocean front properties.

[@mrsvl63]

Thanks for the update; we're scheduled to arrive on the 11th, looks like things will at least be safe and mostly accessible.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Yes overall, other than garden city and Cherry Grove, I think Myrtle Beach proper handled it pretty well.

[@davidrunyon]

Just got in town today at the Carolinian and we ate at Dirty Don's on The Boardwalk for early dinner!

[@davidrunyon]

Definitely underestimated how insane the parking fees are. Pro sports games have better parking fees than here. Definitely gonna start walking when possible.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@CarmenandBrian]

If you mean the city fees to park near the boardwalk, if you're willing to walk a bit, you can park across Kings Highway near the large Methodist Church for free for 2-3 hours (check the signs).

[@davidrunyon]

@@CarmenandBrian I think next time we'll just walk from the condo. Only about a mile.

[@solarscreen]

Thanks for the tour of the Blvd! We usually stay at Ocean Enclave or Ocean 22. Btw, facade is pronounced "fah sod".

Glad you like the tour!

In some places on the boulevard the sand is so thick it looks like it snowed, but, like you said, overall looks like it fared pretty well

[@CarmenandBrian]

Yeah not too bad overall.

Oh my gosh! We are heading down again in two weeks for the second time this year and we will be staying at the compass cove. We have stayed at that resort for the last 16 years and love it. Hopefully, everything is back in order by then. ❤

[@CarmenandBrian]

I think it will take a while for them to repair the dunes, but otherwise I would think most things would be in decent shape in a couple of weeks in Myrtle Beach.

[@kat1321]

The Westgate was a direct hit

[@niccivictorious5594]

I am hearing alot about Garden City and Cherry Grove that sustained damage. Is that apart of the North Beach Plantation area? Trip scheduled with family...??

[@CarmenandBrian]

You should definitely call the rental company to check on the status. Without an address I can't tell you if it's in Cherry Grove but even North Myrtle Beach was hit hard in areas.

[@jasonschannel1315]

Thanks for the update I was wondering as well how Myrtle beach was holding up. I went back in 2018 when that bad hurricane went through especially in Conway that flooded it out. And when that jeep was on the beach just glad things aren't to serious there and you guys are doing ok.

[@CarmenandBrian]

Thanks! It was a scary day yesterday but we're fine and I think overall Myrtle Beach fared pretty well. I think Garden City and Cherry Grove were the hardest hit in this area.

[@jasonschannel1315]

@@CarmenandBrian You're very welcome and yeah was watching the weather channel channel yesterday as they showed Garden city and Pawleys Island as well. They never showed Cherry Grove though. I was watching earthcam yesterday untill the storm I am guessing knocked out the power enough to where the camera's wasn't online.

[@CarmenandBrian]

@@jasonschannel1315 I know some of the roads are blocked too. We biked to Garden City today and it's in terrible shape. :( Even the main road is impassible by car in many places.

We have several, but not specifically of the hurricane.

I was there it was not bad no damages to car or condo. Wind was bad but power never went out I live close to Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach. Then I drove down to Florida 3 days ago to Bonita Beach friends condo no damage or flooding but did see flooding and trees down all over and cell phones off and on, but power and water on in the Village where we are. Lucky.

Very sad to hear some of the piers got damaged, but glad to see it wasn't any major damage elsewhere. Unfortunately, our plans were cancelled to be there this weekend because of the hurricane and also my Mom falling and breaking her hip. So we will get there one day.

So sorry about your mom! Hope she heals quickly.

How about all the RV resorts,How did they fair,i just left there 3 weeks ago,loved it;;

I haven’t heard anything in the news either way. And they don’t allow people in unless you have a reservation so we can’t check on it ourselves.

[@juneflirtz]

That footage is phenomenal. What kind of camera do you use?

[@CarmenandBrian]

Thank you! Most of this was shot with a GoPro hero 10 black. A couple of the clips where I zoomed in were shot with the iPhone 13 Pro.

[@MikeKarschti]

That’s a crazy amount of damage. I hope all the businesses down there can get back up and running

[@CarmenandBrian]

Thankfully Myrtle Beach wasn't hit too hard. The worst was in Garden City (slightly south) and Cherry Grove (slightly north).

[@teresaphillips4250]

We are staying at Crescent Sands - Crescent Beach section in 2 weeks. Have seen some photos of some serious damage there. The unit we are to stay in is undamaged, but I wondered if the pool area was damaged. Wish someone would do some drone footage or video of that area.

I would definitely call the rental agency or person you were renting it from and ask for details.

The missing sign is the Wave Rider. Also, it isn’t a hotel. They’re privately owned condos. Love your vids!

Thanks for posting. The power of nature is really humbling. I was surprised to see that the dunes have disappeared. Feel sorry for the Cherry Grove peer. Did you drive by North Myrtle Beach? Do you know if they’ve been hit harder than MB?

We did not drive by North Myrtle Beach. Both parts of the Cherry Grove area and garden city at the south end were closed to the public. I think North Myrtle Beach was hit harder than Myrtle Beach based on the news coverage.
