Any South Carolinians here?

[Libertytree]

Presently I'm in southwest Florida, right on the Gulf. I think the writing is on the wall and I'm scootin' the hell out of here well before I get herded anywhere by anyone else.

Right now I'm looking at the Lake Marion/Santee Cooper area as it seems to fullfill the basic requirements I'd like to have overall. Anyone with any first hand knowledge of the area?

If we have an active hurricane season, I think further north and further inland would be a better place to be.

Even here in Charlotte, NC we may see some of the "oil rain."

I live near Loris, its near North Myrtle Beach, and its a great area. I think you would like the area. Most of South Carolina is a good area to live in. The state has some bad areas but more good areas than bad I think.

I'm not too sure about the Santee area really though to be honest. I'm thinking its ok but I'm not ever around that area.

All the socialists form the northern states are taking their big pensions and retirement to the Carolina coastal areas.

Funny when you speak to any of them, how they love the low prices and taxes and bitch about the misery back in the high cost of living in a; dense, polluted, over-taxed, hell.

Loris Little River is a great area with the coast from Ocean isle to Cherry Grove being great place to hit the beaches.

Sunset beach is my personal favorite, but always look at the infrastructure, taxes, and cost of living, both local and state.

:D When we moved from Georgia to Ohio we met over a dozen people who were leaving the hot, smog ridden, overpriced property in the South at both the electric company and drivers license waiting rooms. We were a bit startled by how many have fled the South like us and for the above mentioned reasons we all agreed motivated the change.

What are you basing that on? Do I need to buy a tarp for my car or something soon?

Yeah its unfortunate they are moving here to get away from their problems. They need to solve their problems instead of bringing their problems to a place that doesn't have those same problems, at least not as bad.

I'm in district 1 and it could possibly be turning blue thanks to all the retirees moving here into the district, and thanks to democrats moving from district 2 into district 1. At least I think its 2 beside us, but the number's not that important, the important thing is that its a democratic area and a jobless area, so people are moving from that district into my district. So the elections in this district are getting closer and closer each election cycle. I'm not sure if its just a coincidence or not, but its possible that its due to more democratic voters moving in from beside us, and from more democratic retirees coming here.

And yes, I agree Sunset beach is a beautiful place. If taxes and such were not factors in me deciding where I would want to live, Ocean Isle and Sunset beach would be two places up at the top of my possible places I might choose to live at.

1. The oil and dispersants will get picked up and will come down as rain. This has happened already along the coast. I posted the MSDS sheets on the sweet crude and the two dispersants on this thread:

2. Hurricanes can affect the weather (rain, wind tornados and the actual stray hurricane) from Texas to NYC and as far inland as Western NC and Northern Mississippi.

What do you think will happen when we get a Gulf hurricane? For that matter, when all that poison rounds the tip of Florida and starts up the coast....?

How soon this happens depends on Mother Nature....right now, if I were her, I'd be pissed as hell and looking for payback. Just sayin' :mad:

I thought the theory most weather experts were saying is that a hurricane would move or push the oil ahead of it to a new location since hurricanes move around so much water? Like as the hurricane moves, it pushes a surge in front of it, and that would move the oil before the storm would be able to pick up any water with oil mixed in too? And that the oil would not evaporate up into the storm anyway?

Do the dispersants change that or something?

The thing I really wonder about is what if the hurricane pushes oil up into coastlands with the hurricane's storm surge. That could be really bad because you could potentially have oil covering wetlands for miles in where flood waters run up into during a bad hurricane.

Think of the choppy water, splashing around, even before the hurricane hits. The dispersant's have "lightened" the oil by breaking it up, thus making it easier for it to become airborne.

I don't doubt that there will be marshland destruction, no doubt at all.

The point is, the effects of all this oil, and the dispersant's, will be felt inland, not just on the beaches and the marshlands. Fresh water reservoirs could be polluted.

Can our water treatment plants handle both the dispersant's and the oil?

The magnitude of this FU is monumental.

Yeah I agree that inland damage from oil is likely if a hurricane comes from the correct general direction moving oil with it towards land, even if weather experts disagree on that. It seems pretty obvious to me that a hurricane could easily push oil inland.

I really have very little clue if it could actually have oil in the rainfall itself though.

I live in Gaffney, SC. It is cheaper here to live and 1 hour from Charlotte to the north and one hour from Greenville to the south!
