Hurricane Arthur threatens Fourth along East Coast
Hurricane Arthur, a Category 2 storm, forced thousands to abandon Independence Day plans on the North Carolina coast and led to rescheduled fireworks from New Jersey to Maine. Forecasters expect landfall near the Outer Banks with 96 mph winds, with impacts reaching the coast even if the storm center stays offshore. An exodus formed along Hatteras Island as residents and visitors faced high winds and rising seas.
