Good morning, Myrtle Beach.

Tropical Depression 9 is set to become Tropical Storm Imelda later today as it moves north through the Bahamas—local impacts will include widespread showers, heavy rains, and coastal flooding at the Grand Strand with dangerous surf and beach erosion expected through early next week.

Myrtle Beach is offering free sand and sandbags for residents to collect today—officials said the measure helps prepare for potential storm impacts.

Tropical Depression 9 is set to become Tropical Storm Imelda as it moves north through the Bahamas before turning east away from our coast, with widespread showers and heavy rain expected today into early Wednesday — coastal flooding, dangerous surf, and rising swells are key concerns — prompting state officials to advise preparedness.

Horry County resident Natalie Boyd accused Coastal Otolaryngology Associates and surgeon Dr. Richard Osman of removing her healthy thyroid tissue without proper consent, which led to a jury awarding her $5.1 million for economic and non-economic damages—Boyd claims the error caused lifelong health issues. The defendants have asked for a new trial and dispute the verdict, arguing that the removal was within the consent given and necessary for safe access during her spine surgery.

A Horry County family is raising funds to send their 13-month-old son to Cincinnati for pediatric liver care—his treatment is urgently needed, and organizers hope community donations will cover travel and medical expenses.
