Please reconsider North Carolina for land fall. It looks likes Wilmington to Moorehead City to me. I am not in the southeast. It is not about worry for myself. I just think with the turbulence in the the Gulf of Mexico where the sea is far hotter than the Atlantic, it will push Florence slightly more north. It could be just me.
Maybe look at it this way, if South Carolina has direct land fall, the hurricane diameter could easily involve North Carolina. The coast in NC is highly susceptible for flooding. Wilmington became an island when Harvey made landfall.
These storms wobble, ie: Katrina. I think Governor McMaster is doing the absolute best thing for the people of South Carolina. I just see North Carolina in the window as well.
