North Texas Couple Gets Married in South Carolina Just Before Hurricane Ian Hits |
Hurricane Ian hit the Carolinas as a category 1 hurricane. Strong winds and heavy rains caused a lot of flooding and damage around the area.
"It was very windy,” newlywed and Dallas resident Collin Pruett said. “There is some down trees and some power lines. It's really hitting the islands north of Charleston a little bit harder than it's hitting here." Collin Pruett is from North Richland Hills and lives in Dallas. His new wife Kate is from Fort Worth. They are in Charleston and got married just before Ian hit.
"We came in from Texas and the storm hit but luckily we were able to get through everything before it hit like an hour before," Pruett said."We didn't expect it to be a cat 1. Just thought it was going to be a tropical storm. So, when they upgraded to a category 1 we were a little bit concerned."Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
