Hurricane Ian pummeled the Grand Strand. Here’s just how bad it was.

Just north of Springmaid Pier in Myrtle Beach, a nearly 11-foot storm surge carved deep into the sand - carving out a large cliff that wiped away dunes and flooded parking lots.

Winds topping 60 mph tore across Garden City and parts of North Myrtle Beach where roofs and siding peeled off homes.

Hurricane Ian, which made landfall in South Carolina on Sept. 30 about 30 miles outside of Georgetown, left Horry County with a nearly $6.5 million repair bill that included destruction or damage to 188 homes.

That’s according to details included in a Nov. 1 federal disaster relief request by Gov. Henry McMaster to federal officials asking for help to pay for Ian-related cleanup costs, which are expected to top $25 million statewide.

More than half of that — 58 percent — is the result of damages in Georgetown and Horry counties, according to data included in McMaster’s request. Georgetown County’s Ian-related hit was just more than $8.2 million.

President Joe Biden previously told McMaster he’d make resources available to assist with recovery efforts.

If McMaster’s requested is approved by the White House, it would free up individual assistance grants for residents in Charleston, Georgetown and Horry counties while non-profits in Berkeley, Charleston, Clarendon, Georgetown, Horry, Jasper and Williamsburg counties could qualify for reimbursement of certain storm-related costs.

More than a quarter of Horry County’s residents would qualify for help, while a third of Georgetown County’s would.
