I lived in Carteret County for 14 years - East of Morehead City. I've been through 5 hurricanes and several tropical storms. I've even been in the eye of a hurricane.

I can't imagine why people on the Outer Banks aren't taking this seriously. I know they have an evacuation order for that area.

In light of the fact that so many people died in Hurricane Katrina - and so many more lost their homes - I'd say everyone on the East Coast needs to take this hurricane VERY SERIOUSLY.
