That the Grand Strand has experienced effects from at least five major hurricanes since the 1880s?
These include the Category 3 storm in August 1885 that made landfall at Beaufort, the Category 3 storm in August 1893 that made landfall near the Sea Islands, the Category 3 storm in October 1893 that made landfall between Charleston and Myrtle Beach (it was called the tidal wave because of the huge storm surge in Horry County), the Category 4 Hazel in October 1954 that made landfall near Little River and the Category 4 Hugo in September 1989 that made landfall at Isle of Palms. In addition, a Category 1 storm made landfall in Myrtle Beach in September 1883 and a Category 2 storm made landfall in Myrtle Beach in October 1899.
