Thousands of Americans were headed for higher ground Wednesday as
deadly Hurricane Matthew crawled across the Caribbean and toward the
U.S. Eastern Seaboard.
In South Carolina, Gov. Nikki Haley ordered the evacuations of historic-but-low-lying Charleston and Beaufort starting at 3 p.m. But in an attempt to keep the highways from being clogged, she urged Georgetown and Horry County residents to sit tight until Thursday.
The path of the storm:
Nassau, the Bahamas, could get a taste of Hurricane Matthew on Wednesday evening when it's hit by high winds and rain. The eye of the storm will pass near Freeport on Thursday morning.
Southeast Florida, specifically the West Palm Beach area, will likely be hit Thursday afternoon by tropical storm strength wind gusts. By Friday morning, Melbourne and/or Daytona Beach, Florida, could begin to be battered by hurricane wind gusts and rain.
Charleston, South Carolina, should start feeling the effects of the storm on Saturday morning. By the afternoon, it's expected to be off the coast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where it is forecast to weaken as it turns eastward and moves away from the land.
