Not seeing/hearing lot of home damage but don't know where the water got to. Palmetto Bay Marina apparently had many of their docks and the boats attached to them pushed up onshore....that's on one of the Harbor River sections between Hilton Head and Harbour Town.

Look at the bright side, the hurricane is thinning the weak trees for ya. Next hurricane and those weaklings won't be in the way.

If my power doesn't go out for a Cat 1-2 hurricane, I'm sending a Christmas card to the electric company.

Winds seem to be dying down a tad thankfully. I think Summerville will have some homes damaged from canal flooding. Last time it flooded many homes had to restore first floors. Ashborough subdivision
had a lot of homes damaged as well from flooding.

Any word from Edisto beach?

More specifically, what's the likelihood of power being restored when my vacation rental starts on Wednesday?

That is if the house is habitable. Am I being optimistic here? being on the edge of the eyewall sound pretty ominous.

The power was shut off to Edisto on purpose, assuming none of the lines are down power will be up probably by tonight.

It'd be nice if there was a list of food places that are still open.... All I know is that 7 of the Waffle Houses are closed.

Crews are just getting into Edisto Beach. At least 3 homes gone. Sand covering a lot of roads. Other homes appear to maybe just be minor damage but hard to tell when not in person. They're making their way down that strip still. More news should come out of there tonight and tomorrow. Beach front house 114 Palmetto Blvd on Edisto Beach is confirmed gone but houses next to it standing.

Are they allowing people to return yet? I know my neighbors are trying but unable.

Electricity still out.

We have heard many people are getting back to Mount Pleasant. But don't know where they are exactly coming from.
