Hurricane rushes to US: advice to millions of people to grab rushes

On the east coast of the United States more than one million people have been advised to leave because of the approaching hurricane Florence.

Henry McMaster, governor of South Carolina, estimates that a million inhabitants along the coast have to look up in his state. In North Carolina, for the time being, there are 50,000 evacuees living on the elongated islands off the coast. It is expected that more islanders will have to leave their home on these Outer Banks. Large waves already crash down on the roads that lie behind the dunes.
