Last year when we had our “Florence” here in the Keys there were few hotel,motel rooms anywhere in the state. We got lucky and stayed with friends in North Fla. at the Villages. You gotta wonder what will happen in the Carolinas?
As I suggested yesterday the landfall right now is near Moorehead City well North of Wilmington.I will be surprised if it doesn’t change again. These things seldom take straight lines.If I were in the area my biggest fear would be cat five level and a slowing of forward speed, both spell looming disaster.
It’s nothing for the delicate road to the Outer Banks,HWY.12, to flood or even become cut in two. It’s happened before.Also it accumulates huge piles of sand in no time at all.Dangerous place to be.
Suspect a lot are going to end up with a ten hour plus drive into Tennessee, and that’s with no traffic jams.
