In the midst of recovery from Hurricane Florence, homeowners across Horry County are now prepping for another storm, as Hurricane Matthew is expected to impact the Carolina’s on Thursday.

But, some homeowners in the Savannah Bluff neighborhood say they’re not worried about the heavy rains it could bring.

“I’ve lost my home so many times, if it goes up a few inches so be it.” said homeowner, Lisa Saunders. 

Lisa Saunders and her husband moved into the Savannah Bluff Neighborhood in the early 80’s, and have had to gut their home seven times from storms. 

“Everything is gone except for my refrigerator magnets and there’s this much mold on it.” Saunders said.

The Horry County Emergency Center is staying at OPCON 4 until further notice, their main concern is with debris leftover from Florence, and how Michael could make things worse. 

“There’s a lot of debris in some areas besides the roads and in the ditches so there could be some flooding issues because of that but we’re not expecting any widespread flooding or rivers to rise like they did last time.” said Webster.
 
He encourages people to avoid traveling on Thursday, if possible.
 
“There’s still a lot of roads closed throughout the county, and please do not go around the barricades. It puts yourself in danger, and it also puts first responders in danger.” Webster said.
