Weather officials are predicting a powerful storm in the Atlantic Ocean will hit America’s southeastern coast later this week. Hurricane Florence, a Category 4 storm, is expected to make landfall in North or South Carolina late Thursday or early Friday. Officials have said the hurricane could further strengthen as it continues to move toward land. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper called it a “dangerous, life-threatening, historic hurricane.” National Hurricane Center Director Ken Graham added, “This one really scares me.” More than a million people living in the storm’s predicted path have been ordered to leave the area. U.S. President Donald Trump has already signed declarations of emergency for both North Carolina and South Carolina. States of emergency have also been declared by governors in both Carolinas, as well as Virginia and Maryland.
