New Storm Impacting Travel: Helene Has Airlines, Cruise Lines on Watch
17.09.2024 - 21:11 / travelpulse.com / Myrtle Beach / North America / Rich Thomaselli
Weather-wise, this summer has been like the proverbial pebble in the shoe for airlines and cruise lines – not quite enough to be a major disturbance but enough to cause discomfort.
Helene is the latest that could be problematic. A tropical storm warning is currently in effect for September 16 in the Carolines.
Helene is expected to make landfall on Monday afternoon near the popular vacation towns of Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island and Conway, South Carolina.
LANDFALL TODAY: Likely #TropicalStormHelene is headed toward the Carolina coast where heavy rain and strong winds are already causing havoc. ⛈️ FOX Weather's @mikeseidel is live from the heart of the storm in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. https://t.co/jg44tzpmvbpic.twitter.com/NlpkS2Kx7g
Helene will bring the threat of wind gusts up to 55 mph, waves up to 11 feet, heavy rain possibly reaching 10 inches and possible flash flooding. Several major airlines service Myrtle Beach and other areas in North and South Carolina and several major cruise lines visit Charleston, South Carolina, as well as Wilmington, North Carolina.
The storm is expected to move up the East Coast and threatens to cause a problem in Washington, D.C. Parts of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia could also be impacted. Be sure to call or visit the website of your airline or cruise line for updates on any waivers or change fee cancellations.
