Take a look at the Myrtle Beach areas after Tropical Storm Debby

Tropical Storm Debby is expected to continue affecting the Myrtle Beach area all day Thursday into the early hours of Friday morning, with most of the system clearing by the weekend.

Meteorologists say that some inland areas of Horry County are still vulnerable to flood events.

Flash floods are still possible, and officials are warning people against driving in flooded areas and bypassing barricades on the road, as this can be deadly.

According to a late-night update from the National Weather Service in Wilmington, NC, major flooding is now predicted for the **** Dee River at Galivants Ferry.

This is the first named tropical system to work its way through Myrtle Beach during the 2024 hurricane season.

Here are the latest updates:

UPDATE 7:57 A.M.

In a morning email, Meteorologist-in-Charge for the National Weather Service out of Wilmington, NC, Steven Pffaf said additional heavy rainfall will further compound flooding in some areas Thursday.

He emphasized that dangerous driving conditions are expected in many areas as a result of flooded roads and pools of water in low-lying areas.

“The threat of tornadoes across southeast NC today will gradually shift away from the area,” he said via email. “Gusty winds to tropical storm force are also expected through today.”

UPDATE 6:54 A.M.

As of last night, Meteorologist-in-Charge for the National Weather Service out of Wilmington, NC, Steven Pfaff released the rain totals for the Myrtle Beach surrounding communities from Monday night through Wednesday night.

So far the place with the most amount of rain is Loris, with 9.35 inches within a 48 hour time *******.

Central Horry County has seen about 6.33 inches and North Myrtle Beach has seen 7.65 inches, according to Pfaff’s report.

The City of North Myrtle Beach sent out an email on Wednesday night stating that, because of the rain, they will continue to be under a Flood Watch until Friday.

“Our Public Works Department has been on top of monitoring stormwater overflows and drainage ponds,” the email said. “We expect to see flooding more persistent along Ocean Boulevard in the areas of 11th-18th Avenues North and 11th-14th Avenues South as the night carries on.”

The city asks that people do not move or remove manholes or clean out covers because doing so during a storm could cause the sewer system to flood.
