North Carolina's Dare County ordered all visitors to leave as of 8 a.m. Thursday to get out of the way of Hurricane Irene.
Evacuation was mandatory for all nonresidents, county officials said in a statement, and residents should prepare for a monster storm. The county includes the vulnerable Outer Banks, where Irene could make landfall.
"Although the mandatory evacuation order is for all Dare County visitors, residents are advised to take proper precautions and make general storm preparations," the statement said.
