CHARLESTON: A large digital screen alongside a major highway running into Charleston, South Carolina, issued a stark warning to residents on Wednesday :"HURRICANE DORIAN, LEAVE NOW."
But while tens of thousands of residents had decided to evacuate, many others in Charleston were choosing to ride out the storm. Business owners and residents were busy boarding up shops on Wednesday in Charleston's historic district, but said they were used to doing so as hurricanes have become such a regular occurrence here.
Closer to the waterfront, Mark Huske was placing sandbags along the windows of an architect's office. Huske said that if the storm surge hit as expected, it would flood the office.
