Dorian makes landfall over Cape Hatteras, NC

Does anyone knows if hurricane Dorian affected Spartanburg factory?
My car was manufactured on Aug 2nd and it's been sitting there since then (ETD Sept 22nd) so it must be at the parking lot and who knows if that area has been affected by flying debris?

Spartanburg is 2/3 of the way across South Carolina to the West - it's closer to Knoxville, TN than the coast. Not to say they won't get wet, and we were in the periphery of a Cat 4 hurricane once in Valdosta, GA, 200 miles from the coast, with some trees blown down in the back yard due to straight line winds over 60kt. But unlikely to be any significant wind effect that far inland from Dorian.

I do think the factory may have shut down a few days this week. I can't find that they produced any cars yesterday and today seems to be less than normal production. I am sure the hurricane is delaying exports through Port Charelston and causing inventory to pile up.

All manufactured cars at Spartanburg sit under canopies to avoid weather related damage. Your car is safe at Spartanburg.

The Port of Charleston was shut down for a short time.
