NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) – Coastal Carolina residents are being warned to stay out of the ocean, secure loose outside furniture and prepare for possible serious flooding as Isaias marches northward. The U.S. National Hurricane Center expected the storm to hit land later Monday as a minimal hurricane. Officials in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, handed out sandbags and offered car space in elevated garages for residents of the low-lying city. In North Carolina, officials wrapped up evacuations of Ocracoke Island, which took a beating last year from Hurricane Dorian. As of Monday afternoon, Isaias remained a tropical storm with winds of 80 mph. It was centered about 180 miles south-southwest of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
