As deadly Hurricane Matthew tears through the Caribbean and turns toward Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, many coastal residents in the south are boarding up their windows, leaving their homes and heading to the highways, following official orders to evacuate.
But others are tempting their luck and staying put.
Joy Clements, a bartender at a cafe on Tybee Island, a coastal town near Savannah, Georgia, told ABC News this morning that she’s not evacuating.
“It just doesn’t seem necessary to leave,” she said.
