The latest updates show that the forecast cone for Hurricane Earl has finally shifted east. That leaves the Outer Banks in the forecast cone, but removes the rest of Northeastern North Carolina and Hampton Roads.
Earlier this evening, North Carolina officials announced that there will be an evacuation of Ocracoke Island beginning on Wednesday at 5 a.m. At this time, tourists are being ordered to leave the island but year-round residents will have the option to stay.
A hurricane watch has officially been issued for much of the North Carolina coast as Hurricane Earl approaches. This includes Pasquotank, Camden, inland Currituck, Bertie, Chowan, Perquimans and the Outer Banks.
