My G-daughter is by Myrtle beach and they are going to be heading for Maryland soon

Anyone know how these storms will effect Maryland?

(Just heard from her-they jut got evacuated and are leaving in a few minutes)

Thanks for posting threads like this NautiNurse

They are da bomb!

Low lying and coastal areas north of landfall are at risk of flooding. Traveling N from Myrtle Beach will take her through the entire evacuation area. Is there any option for her to evacuate S or SW?

I-95 is going to be slammed with evacuating vacationers, I’d suggest looking at possible alternate routes more inland then north, but then she’ll encounter resident evacuees heading inland. Might as well take the most direct route which is I-95. I dislike these mass evacuations, the storm path could change, making it all but impossible to evacuate those who actually are in harm’s way, with hotels filled with people evacuated from the previous forecast.

What part of Maryland are you referring to? Of course south and east will have potential for flooding. Not just because they are near bodies of water, but it’s so flat. I’m in Central MD and have been thru plenty of tropical storms and low Cat hurricanes. I’d think if she’s hunkered down and not driving, she should be ok in Central or western Md.
