Hurricane Irene

Kiawah Island and South Carolina were fortunate that Hurricane Irene decided to take a more northly approach to the United States.  We were certainly relieved that we were spared the devastation that our northern neighbors received.  A lot of work goes into preparing not only your home, but the homes we manage in case of an impending hurricane.  We'd much rather go through the motions of getting everything prepared and watching it skim by us than coming back to damage.  So note to everyone-take hurricane prepardness very seriously.  A little pre-planning will save you a lot of headaches. 

However, we did still feel some effects of the hurricane.  We did get some bands of rain, some high wind gusts and some pretty cool surf.  Typically the beach at Kiawah is very docile, however, I did step out of the hotel and take some shots of The Sanctuary beach and also down at The Ocean Course.  I hope you enjoy the pictures.
