We were told to evacuate but before we could go husband got someone to fix the car - in 20 minutes - then packed us up and we joined the people in the packed line on the one road from the Outer Banks - drove 250 miles inland - safe and sound to Raleigh. The young can be very resilient when needed.

I don't even see how this is relevant to what I posted. Old people are resistant to common sense? So you evacuated on a packed road and made it safely to your destination? I'm missing your point. If people are that old and vulnerable, they shouldn't be driving. Maybe reread my post, I'm referring to people who are NOT evacuating.
