I just love this one, called Ernesto Rain Bands, Pre-Storm Folly Beach.
It was posted by the author of the blog the painted band-aid box, which chronicles the author's life as an emergency medical technician (and, more recently, her work in an emergency room).
This link will take you to her Ernesto Flickr stream. It's one of several remarkable images in the set, and part of a larger stream with many more images.
If you're just an average Joe or Jane resident of the Lowcountry, you'll likely remember Tropical Storm Ernesto as a kinda rainy day when the kids stayed home from school and traffic got kinda bad.
But if you're a surfer, and if you made to the Washout on Folly Beach today, you'll probably remember Ernesto as one of the greatest single days of surfing we've seen in the Lowcountry in a long, long time. We heard from several surfers today, and they were almost reverent in describing the conditions.
Photographer Grace Beahm shot these photos (among others) today, and when we saw them we just knew that the surfers out there would enjoy taking a look at some of her shots that weren't going to make the print publication cut... So here's a gallery just to remember the day... and to make those of you who didn't make it out to Folly really, really jealous...
Vanderhorst, Smith Street & Murphy's Court. ... the photo is by Joan Perry of the popular Charleston blog Walk This Way... and there are more like it there...
Here's Cannon Park, the neighborhood of blogger Jared W. Smith. He's got more at his blog...
This just in from Photo Director Tom Spain: today's first look at the staff Ernesto gallery, which will be growing through the day.
PHOTO INFO: Glenn Orr, from Ohio, braves the wind and rain as he walks down the 2nd Avenue Pier in Myrtle Beach as Tropical Storm Ernesto approaches Thursday. Orr said he and his wife, Joan, have been coming to Mytle Beach for about 23 years and have had to evacuate for "many a storm". They are not evacuating for Ernesto. (Mic Smith/Staff)
