I hope everyone can relax and wait until next week to decide if you want to leave, I am staying regardless.
Next week will be too late. You need to make plans now (probably yesterday).
If you have kids, I would be out of here for a CAT 4 or 5.
We're back to a South Florida landfall. That would be good for us.
If you look on TripAdvisor, you can filter by Pet Friendly, which is under "Amenities". Be careful though, we booked a hotel marked Pet Friendly online, and when we got the confirm, it said "This hotel is not pet friendly. You will be charged $150 if you bring a pet".
It's hard to get through on the phone though, to confirm....
Thanks for the heads up. I decided to just stick with Lancaster. Hotel is decent enough....just a place to escape to. Now if we were going on vacation, it would be a different story. lol They charge 20.00 pet fee. How awful to be surprised with a 150.00 pet fee you weren't prepared for. Wow! I ended up getting 2 rooms in case someone else in the family wants to flee with their dog. Some people though will stay in a hurricane no matter how bad it is...stubborn.
You are so right be be careful when booking online. You also want to make sure your reservations are refundable should you need to cancel. I'm really hoping I'll end up cancelling my reservations but feel a little better to have the rooms should we need them.
Ventusky is updated. As of now, it's showing a possible landfall at Savannah between 2 & 5 PM Monday. As mentioned before, it's updated in real time, so subject to change.
The 8 pm model run is showing some good agreement in the projected tracks. Landfall possibly south of Charleston. I realize it's all subject to change, but would this be a good thing for us or not?
Not. The counterclockwise circulation of a hurricane would mean that the biggest storm surge would be on the north and east sides of the eye, which in this case would mean just south of Charleston if the current model runs hold.

It needs to go farther west so it can go over Florida and weaken, or go farther east so it'll miss South Carolina completely. Don't want it to hit anywhere on the SC coast, especially Hilton Head. They're still cleaning up from Matthew in places.
