The storm coming up near the Yucatan is concerning for us. There is another system coming off Africa. The one in the gulf should get named first, making it Helene. If not it'll be Isaac. It has the potential to rapidly develop and become a major hurricane. The barometric pressure has the potential to be in the mid to low 900s, which means a cat 3 storm or worse. If that happens it'll cause major damage somewhere between the gulf coast of Florida to Alabama. Right now it looks to make landfall around Thursday and potentially move through SC on Friday/Saturday. While a direct hit to the SC coast is worst case scenario for SC, eastern gulf landfalling hurricanes usually put us in the dreaded NE quadrant. Models currently have it moving quickly (much quicker than Debby), but it could bring significant impact to SC Friday/Saturday.
