It's become a hurricane-season ritual in the Southeast: When a storm threatens, coastal residents board up homes, load up SUVs and fill highways where the traffic lanes are reversed to offer a speedy escape inland.
For some people,
Hurricane Dorian is the fourth storm they have had to flee in four years.
Forecasters are not sure if the core of the powerful system will ever strike the U.S. It is predicted to stay offshore as it spins north, paralleling the coasts of
Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
