Based on the forecast tracks Ivan may not give you a wind problem, but more of a rain/flood problem. If you decide you need to evacuate, you might ask around your neighborhood and/ or work. My first pick would be a large, 50-100,000 plus, city. They should have better drainage than smaller ones. High ground, motel/ hotel Not prone to flooding/ flash flooding. Not an easy pick, even this early in the game. Some of the board members (HankF) probably have better info. HF lives in the Aiken,SC area. I believe there are quite a few others from SC on here. Probably best to look after 6pm.
Good luck.
