Hurricanes threaten the Lowcountry every year from May through December. Formal “Hurricane Season” is from June 1st through November 30th, but storms have been known to form in early May and late December. This leaves only four safe months- January, February, March and April. So why do people continue to build on the waterfront?
The answer is simple; the water is an irresistible force. The reward outweighs the risk.
The cactus pictured is rare on the salt water river banks. This picture was taken on Hunting Island near the bridge to Fripp Island.
