I would trust what North of Mouse posted. My daughter and I got stuck at the Poly last year with Irma. As soon as the storm passed my husband drove from our home also in the Raleigh area to get us since the airports were taking an extra day to open and there were limited flights available.... There were armed national guards blocking the exits all along the I-95 in the state of Georgia. And best of luck, if you don't fill up some extra gas can. Really don't think anyone should be trying to drive in the weather we're expecting starting about late Thur thru at least late Fri or Sat. Who knows how long it will last or whether you'll hit a road block along the way. I think many of the roads, especially in SC and GA could get flooded and there will be toppled trees all along the hurricane's path. From what is being reported, Florence is predicted to stall once it gets inland rather than turn around ahead back out to the coast. Same as what happened in Texas and they remained flooded for over 2 weeks.Nope! Right in the middle of it unfortunately! We are in Raleigh - direct path - stores are emptying, some gas stations low or out of gas. Thurs, through weekend (or after) probably not good days here.
Don't plan on being able to gas up on way down anywhere near the coast. Hotels filling up, not to mention the torrential rain totals that we will probably see here. Lots of roads will be impassible, etc. etc. etc.
