You need to plan another option... The locals don't need tourists causing more congestion and confusion. Campgrounds and hotels are full even several hundred miles from the coast.. I95 was the border line for "mandatory" evacuations in South Carolina and Georgia and most of that area is not opened back up yet. The storm has not gotten really into NC yet.. They are still predicting flooding (from rain and from storm surge) as well as tornadoes in NC.
Please be considerate of the folks that have evacuated who live in the area and don't even know what things are like in their homes yet. Please find another way to go, if you absolutely MUST go now.
I understand and appreciate your viewpoint. I will point out though that I own a home in South Florida. I am also anxious to physically be there to check on it. I would like to do so when it is safe to travel, and to know when this maybe happens I need information more detailed than a reporter standing in the rain yelling into a mic. Which is why I asked for assistance here in either personal observation or pointing out an internet resourse more detailed than I have yet found. Many thanks to those who have been able to share information so far.
I understand the disruptive element a hoard of lookylou's will add to an already difficult situation and have no desire to add to it. Im just looking to find reliable info . If its prudent to change my route I shall. I am looking at 30 hours from now, not 5 or 6.
Best of luck to those in harms way.
