Hey there wanderers, Please be advised that Hurricane Florence is expected to significantly impact the southeastern coastline of the mainland United States throughout the upcoming days. Due to the severe weather conditions that are expected, a number of bus and train carriers may suspend or delay their scheduled service. We will be updating this page and our Twitter feed as more information becomes available from our bus and train travel partners. The National Hurricane Center has forecast that Florence will be a major hurricane (Category 3 or 4). According to The Weather Channel, the coastal impact of Florence is expected to reach its peak Thursday and Thursday night with tropical storm-force winds expected to arrive as soon as Wednesday night. Heavy rains may continue well into the weekend or early next week as well. The states where Florence is expected to hit the hardest include Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. However, coastal areas in Georgia and farther north into the Mid-Atlantic should keep an eye on Florence for any changes in the forecast. We strongly advise you to avoid traveling during the hurricane. If you already have plans to travel to or within the affected areas, please contact the bus or train carrier directly to inquire about the status of your trip. Please take necessary precautions when traveling during the hurricane and stay safe! The Wanderu Team
