Nancy, are they part of the evacuation?  I have friends who are vacationing at Myrtle Beach. They left this morning coming home (the mandatory evac was issued last night).  Also have extended family who will be leaving Wednesday.  They do not know for sure it will make land fall. Hopefully it will still turn and go back out in to the ocean.

country girl as of today it's not mandatory but they have plans to leave.  it's my cousin her husband, her daughter and 2 grandkids.   Also 4 dogs and 1 cat.  Thank God there are 3 cars in the household to fit all the people and pets.  I'm praying your family will be safe.  I heard it might be upgraded to category 5!

We went through this exactly one year ago yesterday.  I pray he victims are safe and they can get their lives back in order soon.  We lived under blue tarps for 7 months and there are people who still don't have their homes back yet.

Yes, please stay safe everyone in the path of Florence.  I live in KY so won't be directly affected but we are expected to get a lot more rain that we don't need at the moment.
Have a wonderful day!

I'm in the upstate of South Carolina and have many friends in Charleston SC.    I am happy to see the governor has already taken steps to help the evacuations.   Today at noon they are reversing the traffic on I-26 eastbound lanes to west bound lanes.   This is a serious storm and I hope everyone takes heed to the warnings.

I have friends in NC and Georgia. Last I heard from them they were battening down the hatches. I hope they're ok.

Where my friend / family is it was mandatory.  They were all right on Myrtle Beach.  Before I got to the end of your post I was wondering if they would be able to take the pets.  I don't think I could leave mine.  I had not heard it had been upgraded.  I prayed it would go back out in to the ocean.

I do not understand how they can even do that.  I know last year in Florida people just got on going the wrong way.  Looks like that could have been a real mess when they started meeting cars head on.  They it is all at a stand still.

Looks to me like (and I can be wrong here) but if everybody would get get in their car and drive the speed limit then traffic would continue to move.  I wondered if they would have gas shortages because so many people are trying to fill up.  We have had a couple of local stations in my town that were out of gas.  Several pumps had bags over them this morning.

I have a friend who just bought a home in  the Outer Banks. I thought he was nuts because they always get hit, but the rest of the family is there. i pray for everyone to be safe and things are different where pets are concerned over the past few years. I can't ever leave my fur babies and I can see why some people don't evacuate but I would take my babies and keep going until I found a place we could all be together. It's too traumatic for them to be left behind.
