Evacuation for Matthew delayed: 10 ' 16



We didn't think it would be necessary to evacuate, but we may have to rethink that. Landfall is expected to hit about 50 miles north of us. Not good considering how big and powerful this storm is.

This morning Governor Nikki Haley changed coastal evacuations ahead of the potential landfall of Hurricane Matthew.

Instead of a blanket mandatory evacuation for the entire South Carolina coast beginning at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Governor Haley says Charleston and Beaufort counties only are under that evacuation order.

Residents in Georgetown and Horry counties are now being asked to evacuate Thursday morning. The exact time has not yet been announced.  At least that buys us a couple more days time to prepare.
