Bravo for emergency management. Wish they would have taken that move and gotten all the Tourists off our outer banks here in NC before hand.

My neighbors are down there now luckily they are in Marathon not any farther down. US 1 is going to be a nightmare coming back. The Seven Mile is historically a dangerous rd.. What about Marco Is and Venice.? This might get bad.

Monroe County EMO web page is up here:

If it's looking like evacuation times will be tight, do they make US-1 one way out of the islands?
