I live in North Carolina in the middle of the state in a county that borders Virginia.
The local news has been building this hurricane up for a week.
I live 150 miles from the coast. I couldn't even get gas at my local store yesterday because they were out it's like that all over this area and don't even try to find any of the staples at the local grocery stores . They've been limiting the number of items you could purchase on things like milk , bread, ice, eggs and propane.
People are fighting over cases of bottled water ! The local media have worked people into a frenzy around here !
