‘Extremely dangerous’ Hurricane Florence to be a ‘Mike Tyson punch to Carolina coast’

Hurricane Florence’s potentially devastating winds and rain could be like “a Mike Tyson punch” when it slams into the Carolina coast later this week.

The Category 4 hurricane remains strong as it continues its approach to the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph, the National Hurricane Center said in its 8 a.m. advisory. Florence was 530 miles south east of Cape Fear, North Carolina and moving west northwest at 17 mph.
