text: Looks like Beaufort, SC will receive 8-12” of rain. Storm surge around 6-8 feet. I am about 1/4 mile from the coast. I will be able to see this firsthand. I’m well above the potential flood line in a 3rd floor apartment. The possibility of Ian strengthening and becoming a Category 2 Storm are very real as it gains strength over a very warm Atlantic. Power loss here is almost guaranteed. I will keep everyone here informed as this progresses.
