Diane Aims At Georgia and South Carolina Storm
Forecasters expect hurricane warnings for Georgia and South Carolina as Diane, the season’s fourth tropical storm, tracks toward the region. A hurricane alert already covers North Carolina, with potential northeasterly warnings for northeast Florida. Diane’s peak winds reach 113 mph and a 230 mile wind band surrounds its center. The storm moves west-northwest about 15 mph, centered east of Jacksonville, with North Carolina and states north of there viewed as most threatened. Connie’s trough and a westward-shifting high pressure ridge alter Diane’s path, triggering official warnings and urging coastal residents to prepare. The Bermuda area felt rough seas and the storm claimed its first victim there.
