Evacuations Begin as Earl Heads Toward East Coast
As Hurricane Earl strengthens to a Category 4 with 135 mph winds, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland declare emergencies. Evacuations are ordered for Hatteras and Ocracoke on the Outer Banks and parts of Carteret County, while the Navy ship USS Cole rushes home to Norfolk. Millions near the coast brace for possible high winds, surge and heavy rain with forecasts of a near shore landfall or a path up the Atlantic seaboard.
