RARE PHOTOS: Rather unexpected tropical storm colin forms off south carolina | Rare Historical Photos

ORLANDO, Fla. — Residents of the Carolinas work up to a surprise Saturday morning: Tropical Storm Colin had formed overnight.

According the National Hurricane Center, an area of low pressure formed just offshore from Savannah, Georgia, on Friday but became better organized overnight. “As a result, and rather unexpectedly, Tropical Storm Colin has formed near the South Carolina coast, centered just inland a bit to the northeast of Charleston,” the hurricane center said Saturday morning.

At 2 p.m., Tropical Storm Colin was located about 10 miles west-southwest of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. Tropical-storm-force winds extended out 80 miles from Colin’s center.
