"hard to make plans on a forcast that is 5 days out, especially when the models are not in agreement. "

No kidding! LOL!

Where my mother lives they STRONGLY suggest that they not wait till mandatory evacuations are announced, because the exit roads get so clogged by all the people coming off the one bridge from Hilton Head Island. (They direct the Sun City people across 278, going north a bit before going toward I-95.) Add to that lead time my half-day drive just to get to her house and you can see why I'm keeping a close eye on the situation.

(At least my question has proven that people are awake and reading. Ha!)
