HURRICANE EARL MENACES US EAST COAST

HURRICANE EARL MENACES US EAST COAST

This September 2, 2010 satellite image obtained from NASA shows Hurricane Earl. Earl bore down on a vast stretch of the US East Coast on Thursday, as tens of thousands of people fled North Carolina's barrier islands to avoid dangerous winds and surf. The strongest Atlantic storm of 2010, Earl was expected to remain offshore but still skirt much of the eastern seaboard beginning late Thursday. It is expected to hit Canada's Nova Scotia by early Saturday. The US National Hurricane Center downgraded Earl to a category three hurricane at 2:00 pm (1800 GMT) Thursday, but it remained a major storm on course to bring destructive winds and heavy rains to the coast of North Carolina and then move north, wreaking havoc on the end-of-summer Labor Day holiday weekend that usually draws millions to East Coast beaches. The storm packing sustained winds near 125 miles (205 kilometers) per hour was expected to pass approximately 70 miles off the Outer Banks. /NOAA = RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE = NOT FOR SALE FOR MARKETING OR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN =  ( automatický překlad do češtiny  ) ( zobrazit originální popisek v angličtině )
