NEWS UPDATES:
9/11 Dangerous Category 4 Hurricane Florence likely to stall and pound Carolinas, Virginia for days [more]

There is the potential for Florence to stall or significantly reduce its forward speed as it nears the coast, which could prolong the effects of damaging winds, storm surge flooding and beach erosion. A stall or slow forward speed would also greatly enhance inland flooding of streams and rivers.

“There’s never been a storm like Florence. It was located farther north in the Atlantic than any other storm to ever hit the Carolinas, so what we’re forecasting is unprecedented.

"This is very dangerous hurricane," McMaster said during a news conference Monday afternoon.
