Core of Hurricane Dorian whips North Carolina's coastline with hurricane-force wind gusts; forecasters say the storm will likely make landfall there soon.
The core of Hurricane Dorian whipped North Carolina's coastline with hurricane-force wind gusts early Friday morning, and forecasters say the storm will likely make landfall there soon.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has warned residents who didn't heed earlier evacuation warnings to stay indoors and"hunker down" until the storm passes. Early Friday, Dorian weakened to a Category 1 hurricane, with sustained winds of 90 miles per hours, as it churned past the North Carolina port city of Wilmington. The storm is expected to remain a powerful hurricane as its center moves near or over the Outer Banks during the next several hours.
South Carolina has already seen more than 10 inches of rain since the storm brushed by the coast Thursday night. Some streets in the historic port city Charleston were underwater as strong winds knocked down power lines and trees. Another tornado was reported in Little River, South Carolina, where one resident told ABC Florence affiliate WPDE that they heard what sounded"like a large airplane or a large train coming through."
