Were it me. I would watch the weather closely. Be ready to leave. Don't wait for the Gov to tell you to leave. He ain't real bright.
Right now the storm path is headed toward Carolina Beach, Kure, and Wilmington. It could slip in there and get you from behind. So stay on top of it, and be ready to evacuate. Silly to try to fight a Hurricane head on. We live 200 + miles from the Coast. Hurricane Hugo destroyed lots of trees, and houses in my town. So 70 miles is nothing. Also remember what Floyd did to Tarbaro, and Princeville. they have not completely recovered to this day. so be smart, and leave if it comes here.
