That Myrtle Beach has received both TsunamiReady and StormReady status from the National Weather Service?
The city has been designated as StormReady for a couple of years, but received its official TsunamiReady designation October 31, 2006. Nationally, only 36 sites are designated TsunamiReady, including Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach and Horry County. Charleston County is the only other TsunamiReady site in South Carolina. Visit http://www.stormready.noaa.gov/communities.htm and http://www.stormready.noaa.gov/com-maps/sc-com.htm for more StormReady and TsunamiReady information. (Note: North Myrtle Beach will be recognized as TsunamiReady in January.
