Sunday - September 16, 10am Update
Positive vibes as the evacuation order has been lifted for all of Georgetown County, including Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach! Still rain in the forecast for much of the day, but very minimal flooding from the ocean and creek. We will know over the next few days if river flooding is going to an issue for our area. The Dieter Company will be open for normal business hours on Monday. Please be patient as our staff needs time to check property throughout the day. All owners and renters will hear from us with details about their property as soon as possible. Thanks!

Saturday - September 15, 9am Update
Overall the area fared well through the storm yesterday and overnight. There has been some scattered loss of power, but the west winds help keep the high tide at bay. The back 1/2 of Florence today will decide if there is to be any significant flooding in Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach. We are hoping for the office to re-open on Monday. Stay tuned to local news for when it is safe to travel to the beach.

Friday - September 14, 11am Update
Pawleys Island is starting to feel the effects from Hurricane Florence. While we are experiencing strong gusts of wind and some driving rain, it is in a diminished capacity from what was initially expected. Because of the slow pace of the storm the evacuation order is still in place and our office will be closed at least through the weekend. We will be reaching out to owners and renters as soon as possible regarding their property and overall conditions from the beach. Here is a helpful link providing road conditions heading to the coast.

Thursday - September 13, 10am Update
We are still under a mandatory evacuation and while things are looking a little better, there is still a high level of uncertainty. Hurricane Florence will be impacting Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach for the next few days with significant rain and wind. If you are scheduled to arrive this weekend, wait for confirmation that travel to the area will be allowed. We will need time to inspect all properties, assess any damage and make sure things are safe for occupancy. Updates will continue to be passed along as they are available. Prayers and Thanks!

Wednesday - September 12, 10am Update
The Dieter Company office will be closed due to the mandatory evacuation. Staff will respond to email and phone calls as quickly as possible. Please understand that our staff lives in areas that are under evacuation orders in addition to the properties that we care for. Our website and Facebook Page will be updated when possible. If you have to evacuate or may not be able to travel for arrival use the following link to file a Trip Insurance Claim and CSA will be glad to assist you.

Tuesday - September 11, 10am Update
All eyes are closely monitoring Hurricane Florence. We are all praying for Pawleys Island to have minimal impact, but starting to plan for other scenarios. Our office will remain open for normal business hours all week unless required to leave under a mandatory evacuation. We will be listening for the governor and other government officials to make decisions about this. You will be updated as more information is known regarding storm preparation and evacuations. Below are some helpful links to provide you with the same reports that we are working from. If we have already spoken with you about this, please limit follow up calls as we are working hard to respond to every renter and owner as quickly as possible.
