Holden Beach Turtle Watch warns against releasing balloons:

No matter where you live you can help our turtles. Please don't release balloons into the air....what goes up, must come down...somewhere. These photos were taken on Holden Beach. Not only are they litter, but when floating in the ocean, they can look like jellyfish, a favorite food of sea turtles. This could be deadly to a sea turtle.

Town Announcement [2/3]:

Unusually heavy rain will potentially cause further problems. Due to the expected increase of the amount of water in our canals and on the beachfront, owners should take precautions accordingly. These would include securing or removing boats and consideration of elevating or removing items in garages and under homes.

The full moon tide that is going to impact us late Wednesday and Thursday could have an additional three feet of water due to Idalia.
