3. I don't know what to do, really.

I originally was planning to evacuate to Charleston, back when it looked like it was gonna hit in the middle of NC.

Then I was planning to evacuate to Florence, back when it looked like it was gonna potentially straddle the coast and head southward to Charleston.

Now I'm planning to evacuate to Columbia, but it looks like it's still gonna go right through that area, even though obviously not as severe as along the coast.

Where can I evacuate to when -- even so close to landfall -- the forecast tracks are varying so much? Short of driving hundreds of miles and multiple states away like FL/TN/WV, where are we supposed to evacuate to?

EDIT: I even thought about NE North Carolina or SE Virginia, but even though they aren't expected to have a direct hit, they have some of the worst rain/flood projections of anywhere......
