An evacuation order has not been called for Beaufort County, yet emergency officials are asking residents to start preparing for the possibility of a strike from Hurricane Florence.
It seems residents along the Carolina coast are listening because inland hotels are booking up ahead of the storm that could be a Category 4 before landfall.
Hurricane Florence is predicted to hit somewhere in the Carolinas early Friday morning. The path still could change.
