PANIC BUYING BEGINS IN HURRICANE AREA

10 September, 2018
With Hurricane Florence about 72 Hours away from landfall in either North or South Carolina, PANIC BUYING of food and water supplies has begun.
COSTCO in Charleston has lines literally to the back of the store from cash registers, as shown in the photo.  People are already grabbing supplies they need to live; especially since the latest weather forecasts show Florence STALLING for several days over the Carolinas, causing disastrous inland flooding.
It bears mentioning that Dams may have to go into "Emergency Release" mode from all the rainwater, and that animal manure pits may become flooded and contaminate public water supplies -- so people MUST make certain they have a week+ of Emergency water for themselves and their families!
Emergency food is also necessary, but having a way to cook it is now another issue.  As was seen in the barrier islands of New JErsey during Hurricane Sandy, storm surge can literally erode the ground to the point that gas lines get ripped up; leaving folks with no gas supplies to cook with.  So it is strongly recommended everyone in the Carolinas and Virginia make certain they have propane for gas grills to use for cooking.

Governor ORDERS Complete Evacuation of ENTIRE 187 Mile Coast of South Carolina


10 September, 2018

The Governor of South Carolina, Henry McMaster, will order evacuations along South Carolina’s entire 187-mile coastline border starting at noon Tuesday, saying residents and tourists must get out of Hurricane Florence’s potentially devastating path, according to several lawmakers briefed on the plans.

The evacuations are expected to also cover some areas inland prone to flooding, including Berkeley County and parts of Dorchester County. About one out of every five South Carolinians are in the evacuation zones. 

The eastbound lanes of Interstate 26 heading into Charleston and U.S. 501 into Myrtle Beach will be reversed when the order takes effect, opening all lanes to evacuees.

Schools and state offices in 26 counties as far inland as Lexington in the Midlands will close as of Tuesday, enabling schools to serve as emergency shelters and making school buses available for evacuations.

People, we need to prepare,” McMaster said during a briefing at the state’s emergency management center in West Columbia. “This one is particularly big, particularly strong. ... We don’t want to gamble with a single South Carolina life.”

Most of South Carolina’s coast remains in Florence’s cone of uncertainty, raising the possibility of the state’s first major hurricane strike in nearly three decades.
