Sunday a week ago, S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster ordered evacuations for parts of some state counties, including Zone A of Horry and Georgetown, to begin at noon the following day as Hurricane Dorian marched slowly up the East Coast.

By the time it neared the Horry County coast late Thursday, the storm was a category 2 hurricane and damage to the area was minimal.
