Myrtle Beach weather conditions (dry and windy) have contributed to the spread of local wildfires. Scores of homes have already been destroyed. Overnight, residents were evacuated from their homes as the Myrtle Beach wildfire continued to spread.
It is believed to have started as a coastal fire, and is spreading to the heart of the heavily touristed area of the city. Firefighters have been working around the clock to extinguish the blaze.
The current 10-day forecast shows no relief in the form of rain until next Thursday. Myrtle Beach news has reported on several homes and businesses that have been destroyed by the wildfire.
