Tropical storm Florence now hurricane

miami - The tropical storm of Florence has sunk so fast in the Atlantic on Sunday that there is now a hurricane with wind speeds of 120 kilometers per hour. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami expects Florence to develop into a whirling storm of category 3 or higher over the next 24 hours.

'Make plans now', Governor Henry McMaster advised the people of South Carolina during a press conference. 'Imagine a heavy hurricane hit South Carolina full in the middle. 'The prediction is that Florence will land on the American east coast at the end of the week, Thursday or Friday and will cause a lot of inconvenience. The residents of North Carolina and Virginia are also at risk.

The meteorologists of the NHC follow two more storm areas further on the ocean. Isaac may also stir up hurricane sunday and head for the Caribbean.
