Although I live in Raleigh, I've got a place in Atlantic Beach, NC.... Debating on whether to drive the three hours to try to batten down the hatches.

The siding is vinyl siding, so plywood is out of the question....

Question: Are sandbags worth it ?(the cottage is on pilings/stilts; only a garage is on the ground level.

is it right on the coastline? from the track that has been shown so far, that looks like a very vulnerable area, but the flip side is that it should be a CAT 1 by then.

I wouldn't think so. Maybe just for the garage.

It really depends on what this thing does after it crosses FL. It's a very fast mover and they are saying it's going to pick up speed.
