Civil Disturbia | Hurricane Florence 'Extremely dangerous' - Evacuations ordered (NASA footage) @CivilDistribution | Uploaded September 2018 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Evacuations have been ordered as the US East Coast braces for Hurricane Florence - in what may be the strongest storm to hit the region in decades.
South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia have declared states of emergency, and residents are stocking up on essential supplies.
Officials say Florence is now a category four storm with 130mph (195km/h) winds, and gaining strength.
It is expected to strike the Carolinas by Thursday.
The weather system could reach category five as its draws strength from the warm Atlantic waters, say forecasters.
It would be the first category four storm to hit the region since Hugo ravaged North Carolina in 1989, wreaking $7bn (£5.3bn) in damage and claiming 49 lives.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) says Florence has the makings of an "extremely dangerous" meteorological event.
It may bring catastrophic levels of rain and flooding to coastal and inland regions.

Cameras outside the International Space Station captured dramatic views of rapidly strengthening Hurricane Florence at 8:10 a.m. EDT Sept. 10 as it moved in a westerly direction across the Atlantic, headed for a likely landfall along the eastern seaboard of the U.S. late Thursday or early Friday. Now a major hurricane with winds of 115 miles an hour and increasing, the National Hurricane Center says Florence’s forecast track will take the system over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda and the Bahamas Tuesday and Wednesday, and Florence will approach the coast of South Carolina or North Carolina on Thursday. The station was flying 255 miles over the storm at the time this video was captured.
