Preparing For Hurricane Florence

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.
