For the upcoming Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival in Murrells Inlet, SC, AccuWeather is predicting over 4” total rain on Thursday (setup day) and Friday (setup / opening day), with showers lasting 17 hours on Thursday (with winds of 20-32 mph) and 20 hours on Friday due to an Atlantic storm coming onshore around Myrtle Beach that was thought to have “tropical characteristics” a few days ago.
Fortunately, we will not be participating this year. I was wondering what/how other participants are doing as the storm progresses:
- Anyone canceling?
- Reports from the front line?
- Any flooding of the castle?

Well, now I am in the same situation with Hurricane Joachim coming and I have a show-set up tomorrow- outside DC area.
Three day show, plus one day setup and the least would be heavy rain and chilly during most of it.
So- do we cancel or go? Isn't life funny? (trying to laugh)

I was wondering how things went, too.
To those who participated in Atalaya: How did it go? Did you dodge a bullet?
I saw that further south there was a tornado associated with the storm that knocked down a few brick homes, and Columbia has a flash flood requiring rescues. Was Atalaya affected?
