Hanna’s Turn
Like high-paying jobs, well-educated children or a winning football team, it appears Hurricane Hanna wants nothing to do with the State of South Carolina.
At least that’s what the latest track of the Category 1 hurricane would seem to suggest, although it certainly appears the Grand Strand is in store for quite a bit of wind and heavy rain as the storm’s center is now projected to pass just a few miles off the Myrtle Beach coast.
The Palmetto State isn’t in the clear just yet, though, as the majority of our coastline still falls within the storm’s window of potential landfall.
The good news is that Hanna is now scheduled to make a big northeastern turn prior to hitting our state. Also encouraging is the fact that she doesn’t appear to be gaining strength the way forecasters originally envisioned, dropping back down to tropical storm status earlier today with maximum sustained winds of just 60 mph.

Hanna may not want to come here, only large waste management companies like south carolina, they victimize poor minority undereducated counties like Marlboro County SC, no one wants to come to the pay toilet of the United States (SOUTH CAROLINA)chech out the website http://www.no-megadump.com
