OCEAN CITY, Md. - Officials have evacuated the campground at the Assateague Island National Seashore ahead of strong winds and rain expected from Hurricane Earl.
Officials evacuated the campground on Thursday and ordered visitors off of the beach starting at 6 p.m. Thursday through Friday.
Onlookers described an unusual migration of the island's wild horses, which have apparently moved on their own because of the weather.
Meanwhile, Assateague State Park remained open.
