As Matthew churns toward U.S., more than 1 million ordered evacuated in S.C.
washingtonpost.com
More than 1 million people in coastal South Carolina were under evacuation orders Wednesday and state-of-emergency preparations were in force in Florida and Georgia as powerful Hurricane Matthew churned its way toward U.S. shores.
Matthew, one of the strongest storms in a decade, rolled through the Bahamas with winds up to 125 mph after lashing Haiti and Cuba, leaving a trail of destruction and at least 11 deaths. Winds and storm surges were expected to start hitting Florida on Thursday, and forecasters predicted the storm would hug the coast as it spun northward.
National Guard troops and other emergency teams were mobilized from Florida to South Carolina, where Gov. Nikki Haley (R) ordered widespread evacuations from low-lying areas. At one gas station in Mount Pleasant, S.C., the line of cars stretched a quarter mile.
“We don’t do voluntary or mandatory anymore. An evacuation is an evacuation,” Haley told reporters on Tuesday, urging people to move at least 100 miles inland.
