In reply to the discussion: UPDATED: Hurricane Florence rapidly intensifies to Category 4, evacuation orders begin in N.C. [View all]kwassa
(23,340 posts)23. My older brother is vacationing in Myrtle Beach .....
my younger one just postponed his on the Outer Banks. He goes every year at this time, and has had this problem before.
We evacuated the Outer Banks as a hurricane approached, and it really sucks. The entire area is leaving at once, and there are only two ways off the OB. It took us 7 hours to drive the 70 miles to Elizabeth City. We also got caught in a category 1 on the Outer Banks with no time to evacuate. There is a reason all the vacation houses are built high up on piers.
