North Carolina Buckles Down for Hurricane Florence

As Hurricane Florence hurdled towards the East Coast, its final destination remains uncertain, but North Carolinians who appear to be in the storm's path were taking few chances.

As it approached dry land, the storm itself appeared to weaken from a catastrophic Category 4 to Category 2, but it is still expected bring soaring storm surges, devastating winds, and torrential rain when it reaches the shores of the Carolinas late Thursday.
