Hurricane Florence is now a Category 2 storm and is still forecast to slam into the southeastern United States, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) in an update on the morning of Sept. 10.
The agency said the storm is slated to continue growing in strength and will reach a Category 3 or higher, which constitutes being a “major” hurricane. Forecast models show the center of Florence cutting between the Bahamas and Bermuda on Sept. 11 and Sept. 12 before making landfall on the night of Sept. 13, and it appears that the storm is still targeting around North and South Carolina.
