Part 2: Why Hurricanes Avoid Us

Our tourism plan for coastal South Carolina must focus on the fall . . . for two reasons. First, we now have new information. Our risk for fall hurricanes is "relatively low." Even more important, we know that tourism drops off the map for Beaufort County in the fall. That is especially true for Hilton Head. In short, the fall of the year is our big opportunity. In fact, it is a billion dollar opportunity.

Part One: The Huge Opportunity

A year ago, South Carolina realized that it has a huge homeowner's insurance problem. You and I become alarmed when we see Washington scandals surface, and we are troubled by more than just the problem. We ask ourselves, "Why don't they just tell us the truth? Why are we hearing half-truths or nothing at all. Where is the transparency?" Our South Carolina homeowner's insurance crisis has all the ingredients of Washington's IRS scandal.
