Cape Hatteras Not Taking Earl Seriously

I am amazed, but I just watched the head of preparedness for Cape Hatteras on the Weather Chanel hum and haw about the evacuation order for the barrier islands.  He said the "official" evacuation order would not be until tomorrow.  That is 24 hours from possible landfall for the category 3 hurricane.  Am I crazy or are these folks underestimating the possibility of a disaster?

I certainly hope I am wrong.
