Cat. 1 Hurricane Hermine makes landfall

CNN

  • In Tallahassee, more than 70,000 utility customers were without power
  • Several counties issued mandatory evacuation notices for Gulf Coast communities on the water or in low-lying areas.
  • 6,000 members of the national guard ready to be mobilized
  • Expected to deluge coastal Mid-Atlantic states from Virginia to New Jersey beginning early Saturday

 

 

 


Hurricane Hermine has prompted Hurricane Warnings in northwestern Florida, and Tropical Storm Warnings for parts of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. Storm surge on the FL Gulf coast and flash flooding further inland from heavy rainfall are expected. In the Central Pacific, some of the Hawaiian Islands are under a Hurricane Watch as Hurricane Lester continues to track west.
