It's been on all of our minds this week as we talk about it heading our way, but the uncertainty of Hanna's forecast has left a lot of people frustrated.

On a pristine Wednesday afternoon on the Grand Strand all eyes are on Hanna.

"I've heard conflicting stories, something different about every couple of hours," said Joy Nason, who lives in Murrells Inlet.

"We heard that it was going to hit anywhere from Georgia on into Wilmington," said Myrtle Beach resident Tammy Hobeika.

Hanna's forecast seems to be ever changing, leaving many wondering what to do and to what extent they should prepare.

"It is frustrating because you don't know whether to pack up your valuables and your vehicle and get ready to evacuate. You're just kind of waiting to hear," said Nason.

Tammy Hobeika and her husband Mike didn't want to take the chance of being caught by surprise.

They spent the afternoon securing their boat in Murrells Inlet, for a storm that may, or may not come.

"We want to make sure that it's ok, we heard that the winds weren't going to be all that bad, but better safe than sorry," Tammy Hobeika said.

Spud's Tiki Hut is on the same page. Workers packed up their wooden benches and loaded up the outdoor bar Wednesday morning to prepare for Hanna.

First Alert Chief Meteorologist Ed Piotrowski has the latest information on Hanna in the wpde.com weather section.
