Question for those in evacuation zones


Sep 11, 2018, 10:41 AM

Are you concerned about getting back after the game? If the storm doesn't make landfall until Friday sometime, I wonder when the eastbound lanes of 26 will be reopened. And even if they are open Sunday, it will be a traffic nightmare trying to get back. I was planning on staying until Friday and then leaving like a normal game weekend, but I am rethinking whether I am going at all. Anyone else?

I would imagine the eastbound lanes will be back open before the weekend if the track still stays toward N.C. Coming back to Charleston on a Sunday is a nightmare even on just a regular weekend. I usually leave the upstate super early to get ahead of the carnage or wait until Monday.

Just said on the news that lane reversal ends 6 hrs before storm landfall....

"Storm surge like this will scour the coastline bare -- especially on fragile barrier islands. #Florence could permanently change the region's geography."

"Winds as strong as Florence’s will produce “catastrophic” damage, according to the @NHC_Atlantic. Their prediction: “Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.”

"The combination of water-logged soils & strong winds will produce extensive power outages. It could take weeks to repair them.

Millions more people live in the coastal Carolinas than generations ago when Hazel & Hugo hit.

There is more to lose now. Recovery will take years."

Watching the SCDOT cameras, there is not many delays and the reversed eastbound lanes have very few vehicles on them. Maybe it will get worse later. Not much traffic until Columbia.
