Florida May Miss Storm Edna shifts northward easing landfall risk
Hurricane Edna, the season's fifth, hung about 270 miles east of Miami and 120 miles north of Nassau as forecasters noted a shift toward a more northerly path that could lessen the chance of Florida coast impact. It moved slowly and erratically, with authorities warning watching closely. Florida and Bahamian interests remained on alert as radar data placed the storm east of Nassau and slowly northwestward, with the potential for further advisories.
